Do male cornsnakes get bigger than females?

I have an 03 almost 5ft male who weighs 850 grams... thats a huge corn snake.

And I have an 05 female who is 4ft, 450 grams...

Those are my two biggest of each sex.
 
Same as tula

my males are alot bigger then females.
and the females are the same age
i dont have an exact measurement or weight on them atm tho
 
I have a female just shy of 5 feet weighing in at 770 grams.
Unfortunately I don't know how old she is :shrugs:
 
From what I understand, females have the potential to be bigger than males... but the practice of breeding them before they hit full size can reduce their ACTUAL size by quite a bit.

If you think about it, even in a very healthy young female of good weight, making eggs takes a lot of energy that isn't then being used to make a bigger female.

Whereas a male's contribution to breeding just isn't nearly so taxing on him, and he's got a lot more energy to spend on growing.
 
I have a 52" male weighing 710 grams and a female weighing 580 grams that's only a little shorter than he is. She's just off laying eggs though so probably not her full weight yet.
