I believe its the male. I have a pair and the male became predominantly bulkier and longer. I feed them the same thing which is a mix of fish mice rats and chicks with rodents being the bulk of the diet its more like 50.25.25. The grow really fast this way but dont seem to get overweight. Its not bulk feeding but I think the variation in the diet really healps growth and geneal health even though they grow like weeds anyway. My male is about 7'25" and the felame is 6' They still have a little growth left in them if they max at about 8' but I imagine diet plays a big part in reaching max growth potential.
