Why do my pygmy dragons look so different?

Hi,
Earlier this year I bought my first (2) pygmy bearded dragons. I recently bought another couple from a different breeder but they look a little different to the first 2.At first I thought it was the different colouring but the more I look at them,the more different they seem.I am certain that the new ones have a different shaped head,more pointed nose,more distinct & pointed “brow” above their eyes. They were all sold to me as Pogona Henrylawsoni.
Although I am aware that they are all characteristically different,I am slightly intrigued.Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks
(Lighter ones in pics are first 2)

Could just be a different line of genes.


That scratch on the lil dudes right shoulder doesn’t look too great, what happened? I’m guessing a burn?

Thank you.One of my first thoughts was something as simple as different lines but maybe I started looking too much into it & expected the answer to be a little more complex.
I didn’t notice the little one’s shoulder but have just checked.It is just the red sand that I am using as substrate.May have been the angle that I took the pic.This 1 was just taken...

They all look like pygmies to me,I have several from different breeders in different locations.They all look the same except for different colours.

Thank you. I guess they are not all meant to look the same. Maybe it is just the colour difference.They are also different ages & slightly varying sizes too.A bit of re-assurance has helped curb my curiosity atleast.
Thanks again.
