I wouldn't worry too much, in my opinion, if they are otherwise feeding well and look healthy. Of course, you could always get them checked by a vet, in case the male has parasites.
The female is 5 months older, so you would expect her to be bigger. Possibly she was underfed to begin with. Nicole and I bought our diamonds at the same time, but mine has grown much bigger than hers (at last viewing, some months ago). http://www.aussiepythons.com/albums/...mond/size2.jpg.
They were bought from the same breeder, but different batches. Temperature and diet when younger could have had an influence. .....anyway, that's how I see it! Hope it helps you feel better about things! :-)
