Female bp more aggressive eaters?

[chrid16371]

Persephone (killerbee female) would fly out of her cage from the smell of a mouse if I gave her the chance. I can barely get the head in before she strikes. Kratos (super pastel male) just chills in his hide with is head just inside the entrance waiting for the rat. My friends female also is a little more aggressive then his male but not quite as aggressive as Persephone. Are females just more aggressive eaters? Are there certain genetics more aggressive then others?

i don't think there's enough study to conclude that. i have a very aggressive feeder girls like my Leopard Pastel and Axanthic and chill ones. i also have aggressive feeder males like my Pied. so females being more aggressive feeders is as debatable as which morph is more genetically aggressive.

anyway however i would prefer a aggressive feeder anyday. they always eat and it requires less effort to coax into feeding.

I am very happy she is an aggressive eater, exactly like you said easier to feed.
I figured there wasn't a study about aggressive eating in gender or genetics. Just wanted to know if anyone notices more of an aggressive feeding response with certain gender and/or genetics compared to others in there collection.

The only things I have noticed different between males and females other than physical traits with balls is that my males generally handle easier than my females and male attitudes tend to stay pretty consistent.

I haven't noticed more female than male, just seems to vary by animal to me. My crazy aggressive eater is Houdini, an almost 2000g mocha male.

Females tend to get bigger faster. They need more food to produce eggs too

I don't have a male BP, but I do have mixed pairs of Boas and Coastal Carpets.

In both of those cases if anything, the males are more aggressive and consistent by just a tiny, tiny bit.

In my experience, it totally varies with the animal.
