So... just found out Colt is Coltette.

Was wondering why the ball python I ended up with named Colt was growing so fast. He turns out to be a she. So, we potentially have a breeding pair of balls here. Not sure if we'll go that route or not but this was quite the surprise. LOL

Do females grow faster then males? I know they're bigger but never heard of increased growth rates.

I'd have to agree.

My males from last season are on similar paces to my females. I don't see one growing faster than the other.

I'll take an updated one tomorrow to show the difference now.

I'm not saying yours aren't showing growth differences. It happens.

I'm saying in general that there's no correlation with sex and size. I have plenty of animals to compare with on a yearly basis. I'm not taking your two as more than just a one off thing.
