A rock question.

With all the rock talk of lately,(even CHACHI's 23 footer, hehe) i'd like to ask this. Does the female rock grow bigger than the male? I know it is so for most snakes, but there are exceptions. some male vipers grow larger than females and also some colubrids, etc. I ask this because all the females i've had so far never showed much growth, but a male i had did.
Could we be wrong about rocks on that subject? After all, there are a lot about these snakes that we don't know for sure, yet

I do believe that the females do indeed get considerably larger over time. Males may grow faster initially but when they stop growing so fast the females just keep on going. Just my opinion.

things that ive read and heard have said that females do grow larger than males, but i have no personal experience with it
