Great Information “Dwarf” Ackie wild populations

There are 2 populations of Ackie monitors that are even smaller then normal Ackies and look a bit different which is really cool the first 3 pictures are of the southern Pilbara ackies the others are of the Barrow island ackies the head pattern on the barrow island ones looks quite a bit different I’m not sure if any of these populations have ever gotten into captivity but it’s definitely cool how different they can be between locales all photos are from inaturalist and the source that talks about these locales is the varanus citrinus description paper
