A couple of good ways to identify Lacies from the other big goannas are the broad black bands under the lower jaw and the tail has a few very broad, pale (creamish) bands towards the end of the tail.

Thanks Patrick! Looking forward to getting back out to the far West after having to cancel my trip in 2021 due to flooding, covid, etc.
