well Chris 1000 grams is a bit light but keep in mind people are still getting eggs this late in the season and 300-500 grams is possible in 4-7 months if the animal doesnt go off feed

Well, I can tell you that none of my females who are 1000 grams right now will be bred this season - I plan to wait another season. I'd rather wait a season and get more eggs, than rush and get maybe 3 or 4 eggs at most. But that's how "I" have chosen to do it. I'd much prefer my girls be at or above 1700 grams at this point in the season.

yes as would i its not just about size its an age thing females bred after their 3rd winter do so much better in all regards

These are going into their third winter, and im not expecting to pair anyone up until they are in the 1300-1500 gram range, and if they eat for me I'm expecting to start breeding late season

Some of my 1000 grammers are in their third winter - so they are being held back until next season - they were my stubborn feeders, and now are eating with gusto. Even if they get up to weight, I just feel better giving them even that much more time to bulk up! :)

They are going to be shipped out tomorrow, so I will keep everyone updated on how it gos.

Snakes have been shipped out

How were they shipped? Reptster?

Well, he told me if he was not certified by now( last week) he was going to ship through repster, which I think he did because he said he was waiting on repster supplies. Either way it was through FedEx so now its just a waiting game to see if the snakes I ordered come.

Snakes came! God, this stuff is giving me grey hairs!
