My Suriname is the same age as my BCI, but 1/2 the size....

Is this normal? I feed every two weeks and the female BCI is close to 6' after two years. My male Suriname (no, I'm not going to breed them) gets fed the same and is about the same age although I've only had him for one year and he's like a worm (3'.) Is my pet store BCI a monster or is my BCC a "little person?" Also my Suriname feels "wimpier" in my hands than my BCI did when she was his size (if my memory serves correct.) Other than that, both snakes seem to be very healthy-good looking stools, eating frozen/thawed, no weird behavior, ect. I guess what I'm asking is, are BCC "late bloomers?" I always thought BCC were the larger of the two, that's why I bought a male.

But they do get bigger in the long run. That is one thing that makes them so challenging to keep and breed. There muscle tone should be equal to colombians, that does not change. Slow and steady wins the race.
