Eli5: Why do some animals of the same species grow bigger than others?

196 views

Let’s take ball pythons for example. Males typically only reach lengths of around three feet long, but a few of them do exceed expectations. The same can be said for females.

I know the simple answer is genetics, but I know pretty much nothing about that kind of stuff. Could someone dumb it down for me?
