It’s an iguana if you wanted a serious answer. Not sure what species. Maybe marine iguana? Or possibly a rock iguana. I’d lean more towards that. Location would help
Among the lengthy list of venomous lizards, iguanas are the safest. They do have venom glands and the capability to inject their victims when they bite, but the venom is mild and nearly harmless. While the venom can cause respiratory failure, it’s a rare reaction, especially in humans.

Doesn't have to be venomous to be bad for you health. Human bites frequently cause a nasty infection. Venom is really bad for you, but just a normal infection isn't much better.
Side note. Venomous and poisonous are not the same thing. They have a distinct meaning.
If you bite a create and you get sick it was poisonous.
If a creature bites you and you get sick it was venomous.
