I'm pretty sure there's more dark meat in the q. gracilior....

Apparently when the subspecies was added, Klaver based it on differences in lung type/shape between northern and southern populations of C. quadricornis. Without disecting your pets, I believe males with 6 horns (or more) and more rounded scales in the "beard" than the triangle shaped scales are also characters used to identify the subspecies.
