generally speaking are males normally smaller in size?
naaza is alot smaller than degei, but he eats better than degei....they are both 04 snakes.
naaza is about 30 inches
degei is about 34 to 36 but degei is way thicker than naaza...

In the animal kingdom the femal is typically larger than the male. Especially with snakes and spiders. Take columbian redtail boas for example, the male has a maximum size of around 10' whereas the female has a maximum size of about 14'. But as far as I know corns don't have this kind of size difference. but it would be nice having like a 6' female corn.... Actually I would be overcome with joy if my rats got to 8' but I am sure that won't happen!

i know what you mean. naaza is getting longer almost as long as degei, but just not as thick...... but yet he eats more than her....

every snake grows at a different rate. she will probably fill out after a bit. Something I have noticed is that both of my females (corn and rat) grow in spurts where my male rat tends to just grow steadily. anyone else notice this with females or is that just a coincidence?

Miami phase corns are supposedly smaller than normal corns. I've read your posts before, and I think one of your snakes is a Miami, right? Is that the smaller one? If so, that might account for it.

yes he is a miami, i didnt know that thanx.

here is are photos of both snakes, i think you can see the difference in thickness.

I'm assumeing that your hand isn't purple because of the snake?
