Hey,
I was wondering if there are any differences between male and female corns. I just want one as a pet. Are the colors , size, and temperament different between the sexes? I've read in some books that the males TEND to have brighter colors compared to females. Any response would be appreciated!

Differences are mostly in size.
IN GENERAL, males get a bit bigger than females. I have seen a bunch of sizeable females, too, but the flat-out largest are always male.
Males tend to show genetic influences in certain situations, but there is no difference in vibrancy of color between sexes.

...and I think to myself, "What a wonderful world."

colors of males tend to be better than females...I don't know why...but I noticed it long ago...........

we all go out and buy pairs of corns and the maes tend to be better..........

I do have exceptions.........were the females are better.......

the word usually was used........

and on aot of coors it doesn't matter ,,they all look alike......

(Frank Pinellos' miami female is frosted and the male is not...so I like her look better.......)....(I had fluorescent amels where the female coors just screamed out....)...

males tend to get bigger because they don't lay 12 to 40 eggs per year and use all their energy to get big and fat.......(just like some humans).......

.........JYohe

(female humans get fat too ALOT.............sorry guys....don't want to bust on you all)LOL
