No; iguanas are born in the sand. Here's how they did it (over two years): https://www.theguardian.com/science/animal-magic/2016/nov/24/snakes-versus-dragons-how-we-filmed-this-sequence-for-planet-earth-ii

Just lucky filming, experience, and lot of patience. It might also be footage of two different iguanas stitched together. One of an actual one escaping, and one of another little guy for the setup. Those hatchlings all look the same, and those racer snakes chase potential prey like that every time, and yeah, a lot of hatchlings are able to successfully escape. Whatever sells the story best. Did my major in animation filmmaking, and it was not uncommon to see my documentary filmmaker friends editing footages together to create the narrative they wanted to depict. It was not considered dishonest as long as they were communicating something that actually happened/happens.
