    Bertha is the oldest ball we own. Lucky who is an 03 is considerably smaller. I am attaching a video Bertha is ~ 3500-4000g and in this video she is in a tub that is approxamately 20x34. I can only assume her age and because of how much larger her head and body are than lucky I am guessing she is in the 10-15yr range but there is no real way to tell for sure.

    She laid a clutch this year that was 11 eggs and 1262g!

    My rescues were estimated to be about 5 when we got them by my vet... They're probably about 8 now give or take. She was really underweight when I got her and was 1300 grams and is far beefier now. I don't have a scale but she weighs a LOT.

    My biggest and oldest is a 2700 gram normal female who is about 6 years old.

    Off topic a bit: Kelly, where did you find your big female tubs ? They look much nicer than what I've seen around here.

    The oldest one a have is a famle. I got her in 1998 from Ben Seigal Reptiles. Only started breeding her in the last 3 years and she puts out a solid 9 egg clutch each year so far.
