In a bull snake. A female or male. I thought it was the females until I read something on a website of a breeder saying males got bigger ?????????

This all depends on how a breeder handles his animals. His males probably get bigger cause he kept feeding them real well all the time. And they never had to use up anything for making clutches like the females do. In my case, my female bullsnake is bigger. If she can't eat, I certainly don't feed him. And I want him on the smaller side. So it all depends on what feeding program you have going on. I've seen some HUGE females that weren't in a breeding program. So I don't know if they can make the claim that either sex does indeed get to a bigger size.

Thanks a bunch for that explination!!! I appriciate it. Steve
