In regards to size..... All depends on their native food sources and what's available.
Most people don't realize that rats are so dependent on humans that unless humans are around..... You won't see rats. Now take a look at Australia's population distribution and the Woma pythons distribution.
The area were Woma and humans interact will be the areas that the womas are the largest as they are eating a more varied diet which consist of rodents ( because of human habitation). Same for the BHPs.
Size range exist because of the access to food sources.

Hmmmm, so my (perhaps misguided?) attempts to calm my hungry hungry juvenile woma by stuffing her with rats twice a week could result in an unusually large adult woma?
Oh my. The thought of Ophelia at 8 feet is... unsettling.
