It's a Golden which is under the same category as Colombian. I think they're different but could be wrong,.. maybe one is a sub species of the other but who knows. You have one of each so you can clearly see the differences in the two first hand.
For me Goldens tend to be more streamline and skink like compared to Colombians for the ones that I've seen. Their legs are a little longer and their pattern is usually more digital and Colombians are usually stripes and spots or lines and blotches.
Goldens colors are usually more vibrant then Colombians. Colombians being on the darker side of the scale with usually more black than any other color. But I know just as well as most that patterns and colors change.
Most Colombians colors are just black and yellow some may even have a little white on their belly and creeping up the sides a little. Or kind of a faded yellow to where it looks washed out and almost white. But Goldens are bright yellow, to kind of a golden yellow like they have a tan or something,.. and their tones are pretty even.
When the tone changes it looks like they're getting ready to shed more than anything else.
But that's just how I see it,.. I don't see them the same so I don't call them the same thing. For me a Golden is a Golden and a Colombian is a Colombian.
