    one python is bigger than the other
    I bought these 2 guys at the same time. They are on the same feeding schedule and have not missed a meal. They seem to both have about the same amount of activity each day.

    It has been about 4 months now and one is about 50% bigger than the other. I dont know how to tell what sec they are... but could this be a possibility? I heard that in some snakes, the females get quite a lot bigger than the males

    thanks

    That could be norm, or it could be internal parasites. Have you ever seen a vet?

    Possible

    I have 2 males hatched around the same date, purchased a week apart and one is 500 grams heavier than the other.

    Both healthy, both eating every week, just growing at a different rate.

    No i have not. I dont have a microscope or anything, but their poop seems to look about the same.

    I had a snake with internal parasites and his poop looked the same as any of the others. Take a fecal sample in to the vet of the smaller one and get it tested to rule that out.
