    My 3500-4000 gram girl gave me a clutch of 13 by the way.
    WOW... I thought I had it good with 9 eggs one year and then 10 the next from mine.

    Re: my 4500 gram female "big mama"

    Yep, first year I had her, I paired her with a pastel--11 pastels, and 2 normals. No joke. lol
    She slugged out last season, alas. That was a big disappointment!
    I'm hoping for lessers from her this season, though.

    Ours is called "Big Bertha" and she usually tops out at about 4500 grams each year. Alas she became egg bound several years ago so we had to do a snake hysterectomy . . . . we'll never see eggs from her again, but she's still here and taken care of.

    Hey I have a Bertha! I don't have a scale that goes above 2000 grams, though, so I don't know how big she really is ... I gotta get a bigger scale!

    That really sucks that she got eggbound, but it's great that she pulled through anyway -- kudos to you for getting her surgery! At least she must be a nice big, impressive pet at that size

    @ merdcme -- that's a nice lookin' big girl! What are you planning on pairing her with?

    Re: my 4500 gram female "big mama"

    She is huge ! How old ??? That's quite important

    I have a 3000+g female that we call "Big Bertha".

    I also have a male who was at 2500g and over the last time I weighed him (last year). He is also 10+ year.
