    Re: Breeders: A proposal for a weight gain/growth in length survey.

    Wondering how mine rates, in comparison to others, simply spawned the idea. I graduated university and am still looking for a job, thus have some free time on my hands. I've seen many posts asking if their BP and his/her weight is "normal". While this wouldn't provide an end all comparison, it should be a good estimation.

    I agree that the length is difficult to obtain; how about if we simply do weights and ignore length? I understand that weight varies between specimens a great deal, which is why I suggested using judgment in selecting examples which you thought best represented the average.

    Not sure why you reacted so negatively to this idea, mykee. It would take 15 minutes or less to weigh 10 BPs and I'm sure it's something breeders do periodically, anyways.

    We will not consider the length idea.

    The morph idea I considered, but getting enough samples of each different type of morph would be very ambitious. Maybe it's something that could be tried if there are enough participants in this.

    As for my BP, she's approx. 32-35" in length from what I can tell, using a soft tape measure. 780 grams in weight, though I should have weighed her before she was fed on Monday. She'll be a year old on September 5th.
