I'm not breeding yet but in my plans i have set in there to buy normal females that are over 2500 grams. Because larger skanes produce more eggs. So insted of hoping for 6 or 8 eggs, you can hope for 11 or 12 eggs. Plus you can pull different traits out of snakes with 3, 4, 5 morphs in them when you breed to a normal. .
thats not always true. You want a female that is the proper weight for her size. Overweight girls will give you more slugs than viable eggs. At least that is my understanding of it.
