It's either a blackthroat (Ionides) or a whitethroat monitor and a nice, big guy at that.

I dare someone to try to take his food away while he's eating!!!!!! That's an absolute beast!!!!!!!!

Blackthroats are one of the most docile of the varanus sp. I'm willing to bet its more puppy dog than dragon!
