BRB questions!

If all goes to plan, I'll be picking up a BRB tomorrow afternoon. She has males and female babies, and I was wondering what the difference is between both sexes and which I should go for? I'm leaning on female, as from my understanding they get bigger and more colorful. Any other reasons?

Re: BRB questions!

Good day.

Female do get a bit bigger. As far as color goes it all about the genetics and parents not the sex.

Re: BRB questions!

Females get about 20% bigger -- usually about six feet, to a male's five.

Males typically have the color edge. That said, it can vary by litter -- sometimes, it is a female with the best looks.

Good luck, and let us know what you decide!
