Some of the more reputable breeders sometime breed females at 1400 grams... and I know for a fact by the time she lays and is ready to breed again she can gain more than 420 grams as you say.(If taken care of properly) Those are baby numbers come on.. Not trying to start anything.



EDIT:
Sorry to single you out Steven! dont all of take this directed towards you! just in general.
Don't worry about singling me out, I am a big boy, I can handle it.

I must point out the fault in your logic.

Snakes are not mammals, they do not eat everyday and many females will stop eating altogether once breeding starts.
Once she ovulates she will definitely not gain any weight as she will definitely not eat.

The 600g in egg does not gain out of no where. It all comes from the snake.

A snake does not magically gain weight. No food in, no additional weight, just decrease in overall mass.

So this 600g is only a decrease in the weight of the female, not gain as you claim.

The weights I was offering were only theoretical and I could make them more "Breeder realistic" but I don't think we are talking about an experienced breeder.

Unless the albino female only weighed 1200g last time she was cycled then she is too small to be responsibly bred again.

This is advice only since these are not my snakes. The OP will learn with time as we all do.
