From what I've seen, not much of a difference besides patterning.

They are just two different names for the same phase. In fact there are three different phases for the spotted python: the normal phase, granite/speckled phase, and Cape York phase. IMO, the Cape York phase is the most beautiful. Spotted pythons typically reach 30"-40" in length. Some exceptional individuals have reached 48" (in rare instances). Here are some links to help you out. The first is a site with pics of the different phases as well as general info. The second has info on captive care.

Hope that helps.
Good luck!
