I read that burmese males can be 10'-15' and females 17'-20', and that reticulated python males are about 12'-14' and females 17' . Which snake, in general, is bigger?

Yes males can be between 10' to 15'. Keep in mind a 15 foot male is a huge male. Females going 17'-20' is not a good average on specimens but they can certainly ge that big.It is more like 14'-15' on average, well the ones that are not dumped. You got the retic sizes about right. But anyways to answer your question it is all according to your perspective of "big". I have said this before and I will say it again. It is like comparing the power pole to the power line. Well, it is not that major of a difference but you get the concept right? In mu opinon Burms are bigger. retics are longer.

In general a burm is thicker, but a retic is longer. If you look up the records, the heaviest snake in the world is baby the burm at 425lbs (there has been a lot of debate on whether or not she is still alive, I do not know), the longest snake was a WC retic at 32-33 ft.
