Juveniles of both species have stripe down the back. The stripe disappears as the giant matures but generally fades in the dwarf. Color and back ridges are not a good indicator to determine species. The dwarf may have brownish patches in the groin or belly area. The key features I mentioned in my last post are sure indicators. A while back I contacted a South African herpetologist on the issue and this is what they said.
