Hello I have a 1.1 BCL (longicauda) they are about a year and a half and very healthy. They have always been on the same feeding schedule, they get a rat about every 2 weeks and approximately the same size rat, I breed them. When I got them as new borns I couldnt tell them apart size wise. But now the female is twice the size, she is about 4 feet and girthy and the male is significantly smaller.
My question is this; how can the female be so much bigger than the male when being fed exactly the same thing at the same time and they both have only defecated twice in the last year and it was about the same size?
