:Is one sex larger than the other? Does this differ in different species? Just curious.

It differs... AFAIK, colubrids tend to have the males get slightly larger. I know this is true in Pantherophis (I'm going to have to get used to that name!), but I'm not sure what else. Boids (boas and pythons) nearly always have the females get bigger.
