I was wondering if there is any real physical difference between Henkeli, and Fimbriatus, or is size the only difference. And if so, what are the sizes of each?

Fimbriatus are marginally larger, but the most simple way to tell that I know of are the difference in the eyes. Fimbriatus have large, red, rings/striations in the eyes, henkeli do not.

I dont have a pic of a henkeli eye- maybe someone else would be so kind.

There are white-eye fims, and another way of telling to look at the background colors... Although this method is not sure-fire and takes a slightly more trained eye... There are structural differences in the hemipenes as well...
