Size and color are going to be the 2 biggest differences.

Yup....size-IJs get 4-6 feet, Jungles 6-8 feet and of course color. IJs are typically a goldish-yellow/tan/broen color when older and jungles can range from yellow/black/brown/tan. Baby IJs are reddish, also.

Some babies are reddish, some aren't.

The big differences between IJs and Jungles are size (4-6 feet for IJs, 5-8 for Jungles), and colour -- jungles are yellow and black as adults (or should be -- some are more drab looking), and IJs are more earth tone-y... cream/tan/brown...

Some babies are reddish, some aren't.

If the babies aren't red I would seriously question if it is a pure IJCP. All descriptions I have read and all baby IJCP I have seen at dozens of shows have all been a rusty red color. Like this pic from www.morelia.ca

The red fades out slowly and babies begin to lose this red color after a few months so if an IJCP is more than 4 months old it may not have any red coloration left.
