How do you tell the difference between ruthveni and arcifera? I've found pics on the web and they both look the same to me. Is it size? One site says adult arcifera are 42" and adult ruthveni are 30". Mine is 2.5 yrs old and is about 30-31". Is he done growing?

I only paid like $25 or $30 for him at a reptile show. I saw one site online advertising yearling ruthveni at $350. Did I get an awesome deal or is that price exhorbitant? Or are arcifera much cheaper?

I'm confused, because I remember a year or more ago, there was a thread where people were arguing over whether Tweek was arcifera or not, and I thought the final consensus is that he was.

I may search for that thread...
