Females get longer and have more girth. I do not own hogs maybe someone who does like @elementalherps could post a comparison shot between a male and a female for size reference. I hope this helps.

Females are definitely bigger as adults.



These are two different pairs, but the smaller in both images is the male. Top pic is my largest male (axanthic) with one of my smaller girls (albino). Bottom pic is my largest female with my smallest adult male. (Both albino anacondas, but the male is extreme red).

No one ever said a hungry snake is a smart snake…

Kinda breathes new life to the old phrase one says to their beloved: “Oh, I can eat you right up”.

Also as @lumpy pointed out sometimes you don’t think clearly when your hungry. Too bad the snake couldn’t reach for a “mousebar” the same way we are told to reach for a snickers in those commercials.
