What happened to "Lowland"/Malaysian O. t. ridleyi?

I recently acquired a male "lowland" male O.t. ridleyi from a good friend a couple months ago. It has been a dream species for a while and of course general curiosity got the better of me to look for a female.

The thing that surprises me is that it seems everyone has the "highland"/ Cameron Highland locality that has been worked with by Zerkle Reptile Co., Sarpamitra, & DM Exotics.

The only other ridleyi that I see floating are the "hobby form" if you would say so. A buddy of mine hatched a clutch last year and upon checking his messages, his pair came from someone who claimed to have bred a highland to a lowland.

I guess I'm tired of digging and trying to get to the simple question: is anyone working with "pure" lowland/Malaysian O. t. ridelyi? If so, I'd love a female or even a young pair just to try and help keep this locality/phenotype around!

Thanks!
