What you're seeing is what happens when an animal previously fed a less-than-perfect diet eats a good diet. Happens with a lot of creatures. They go from dull to vibrant. Its very distinct in birds that are taken home and fed a good diet after having lived at general petstore. I've seen adult imported monitors become absolutely gorgeous after being wormed, well fed, and then shedding once or twice.
True leucistic animals have entirely black eyes and no pattern whatsoever. True albino animals have no black pigment whatsoever - so those eyes would be red or blue, not that pretty hazel brown color.
You have a nice, prettier than average savannah monitor. Congratulations.
