first thoughts are without filament in tail and webbed feet i would assume smooth, but is it too immature and not exhibiting these characteristics? |

Juvenile palmates and smooths are always difficult to tell apart. Female palmates don't have webbed rear feet or the tail filament, both of which are exclusive to the male. As a rule of thumb, palmates are smaller than smooths [doesn't help with juvenile] and the female palmate has a creamy throat without any spots.
But guidelines do exist for distinguising 'pure-bred' efts/juveniles. These guidelines are just that... tests using the guidelines had an average of 85% accuracy, while experienced herpers had up to 98% accuracy. They are based on average morphology [appearance] and the vertebral stripe.
If anyone wants me to type them into this thread, shout it out and I will do so when I'm next online. Too tired and aching from work tonight. | | |
