Why do males and females of Python regius differ in ectoparasite load?**»**Brill Online

Sexual dimorphism and dietary divergance.

There's also this one, which I have yet to find the full text of so I can access the actual study.

An investigation into the composition, complexity and functioning of snake communities in the mangroves of south-eastern Nigeria - Luiselli - 2002 - African Journal of Ecology - Wiley Online Library

You do know the first link refutes the second link, correct?

The second link says they SUGGEST that males tend to be more arboreal. Long hanging branches and it's possible due to their smaller body than females.

The first link says both males and females were found in the same burrows so it debunked the suggestion that they were from different habitats outside of breeding.

It's still an interesting thought on sexes having different diets.
