It's not really the length that is the difference, it's the girth. My understanding is that rock pythons are relatively heavy-bodied. If you've ever handled a dumerils ground boa compared to a common BI of the same length then you will quickly realize the dum is a lot stronger.

If that were the case then I'd think the toxicology report would have indicated it.
