Arrow Male to Female Growth??

We bought 3 baby veilds all at the same time and same size. Our male is growing sooo much faster than our females. He is, in fact, three time thier size now. Why is this?? Do males generally grow faster than females? Is he just a better hunter?? We offer both cup and loose crickets to encourage hunting. Thanks!

How old are they and how are they housed?

With my baby vieleds they all grew at the same rate until they were about 3 months old then the males did get bigger faster than the females, much because they are at adult size at around 6 months and the males get much larger than females.

The two females are in a 38 gallon reptairum and the male is in a 22 gallon. They are 3 months old, give or take a week or two. We have wooden cages set up out back for when they need them.

I would seperate the females, I have only kept 2 females together at that age in a 100 gallon. In a 38 they may be battling for food. Are both of the females the same size? And Id move the male to the 38 gallon, a 2X2X4 would be better though.

How big are they snout to vent and how much larger is the male?

At 3 months the males do start to take off a bit in growth and get larger than the girls so it could be the age, it could also be diet, temps etc.

Do you have any photos of them?
