Which sex gets bigger? I'm new to ball python's.

Well the general rule is that females get larger BUT this is not always the case. The only true way to know for sure is to get the bp probed or "pop" it. This should only be done by someone who knows what they are doing because it can harm your animal. Good luck.

Females generally get bigger and fatter. But I have seen some fat males (see my pic below, hehe.) Generally though, females get longer.
