One of these guys is supposed to be a jungle phase, but I can't tell the difference. They are the smallest reptiles I have ever worked with. They are really cute, and man can they eat!

I would say the bottom pic. What is the substrate for these guys? they look like they have sand all over them.

I'm not using any substrait at the moment. The sandy looking stuff is just calcium from the crickets.

Not to sound stupid or anything (I'm generally a large python keeper) what the hell is the difference between a normal and a jungle?

It is actually an abberant. Normals have the regular bands on the body and tail, an abberant has broken body bands and normal tail bands, and a jungle will have broken tail and body bands. Hope this helps!:D

... and broken neck bands for 'true' jungles.

A lot of people classify aberrant patterned leos as jungle because they're obviously not 'normal' banded leos. To be a 'true' jungle they need the bands as Julie stated as well as the broken neckband.
