Just curious to know what the differences besides the scales on the back not having that thick line. I noticed that some really nice RTG's with Highbacks look just as good. Malaysian Gold Xbacks also have red tails right? Sorry if this is a stupid question or if this has been beaten to death. I couldn't find any search to my comparison difference besides the scales going through the back with color.

In simple terms, a RTG or a Highback RTG will never cross, gold coming up to 4th row in a RTG and 5th row for a Highback RTG only with no gold pearls or very little. A Xback aka Malaysian Golden will cross and should have full gold pearls. Xback from Malaysia and RTG from Indonesia and the Highback is a hybrid.
