I've read that males get larger than female Eastern Indigos. But what kind of difference are we talking here?
Yes, males are generally longer and a bit huskier than females and overall, have a larger looking appearance. My largest male is over 7' but my heaviest male is a tad over 6.5' but still growing and is a real monster. I have a female that is over 6.5' and at first glance, could easily be mistaken for a male. As animals go, there are always exceptions and a large female couperi is quite an impressive sight. Rob
