Which get bigger?

twilightfade212 Apr 09, 2007 09:38 PM

Was wondering if males or females get larger. Also, does anybody have pictures of themselves with their boas for size comparison. Thanks a lot.

This male.........

bred this female......

Neither of those are a big as they will get but is does give you an idea as to the size difference between the male and the female of the species that are old enough to be considered an adult (and that is not me that is my wife with those boas...lol)

Here's something to consider:
.
The difference in size between male and female redtails can be not nearly so great if the males are fed like females and not raised as breeders and exposed to females.
.
There are plenty of large male redtails.
.
Hope that helps.
