A lot of the documents say 6 ft+, but according to the keepers I am consistently seeing the number 5 ft.
What size do they usually get to in captivity? Males bigger or females?

Most cobras like to eat. Therefore captive ones tend to be larger cause people feed them more. In Europe they feed a lot less. I feel snakes (especially males) do better and breed better when not overfed or too fat.

Thank you both, I agree people do overfeed their snakes but some underfeed too. You have to watch your animals carefully in my opinion.
5 ft is considered big, that is good news since I want a manageable sized cobra.
Can anyone answer me whether males or females are larger for Indian cobras? I know Monocled cobras are not sexually dimorphic, I am wondering if the Indians are?

No they are not sexually dimorphic. They are gennerally the same size. They are not as big as kaiouthia. You will enjoy them.
