different output for cv.contourArea python

I am trying to find the area of a contour by implementing cv.contourArea() using this code:

contour = cv.findContours(img_mask,cv.RETR_EXTERNAL,cv.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)[0]
    for c in contour:
        area = cv.contourArea(c)
        cv.drawContours(drawing,[c],-1,red,3)
        cv.imshow("drawing",drawing)
        
        print(area)  ### (1)
        
        if area > 3500:
            print(area)  ### (2)
            platform = True

The result of the first print is: print 1

The result of the second print is: print 2

Can anyone help me with this? Syntax wise I know that it is true
