The fact is, it all depends on many things, and exactly what type of snake, because there CAN be very significant differences in size depending on what types, and the husbandry of any individual.
When it comes to Black milks, I find that they naturally are approximately the same size, but as "LIRepman" stated, many breeders put an emphasis on feeding the female real well for the taxing task of egg production.
On the other hand for example, male Florida King(floridana) get much larger than females naturally, and female boas being larger than males, etc...
As he stated, in captivity, it's usually the female milks that are a bit larger due to more feedings from the owner. But male gaigae can be quite large as well given the same husbandry. Many factors involved here...LOL!
