It is probably a dwarf. Since it is still a juvenile, it is hard to determine the species. There are four basic traits that the dwarfs have that the giant doesn't: 1) the tympanum (ear drum) has a cream-color spot; 2) the distance between the eye and tympanum is about one eye diameter; 3) upper jaw with irregular, pale vertical bars; and 4) a pale interorbital bar.

Also giants have 3 very green lines down their back most dwarf don't

i just picked up a giant today and it looks exactly like deac77 photos i would definitely say this is a dwarf i have pictures on her of my male dwarf if you want to check them out but like how grif said they do get fairly large mine is just about 5 inches now and he is a beaut esp the colors on the neck well enjoy cause they are neat pets.
