I really want to know also. If anyone has pictures of both species juveniles, that would be great. I know you can ask, but as pointed out there are lots of ripper-offers in the pet trade.

P. Edulis are brown and have a vivid dorsal stripe and often have a bright yellow underbody, particularly males.

Also, growth rates are particularly faster with "Giants"
