Is this a Stimpson's or a Children's?

Hi -
I got these snakes at a show last weekend. They were labeled as Stimpson's Pythons, but now that I'm comparing them to photos on the web I think they may be Childrens. Is there a definitive way to tell? What do you guys think?

Looks like a Childrens to me
Stimpsons are Large Blotched
Still beautiful though !

Here's a stimsons picture. The side blotshes on stimsoni are larger and almost create banding from ventral to dorsal.
