I don't know how much relevance this had, but I like to think about it once in a while. Our WC female was imported gravid and laid eggs. I have no idea how many, or if any of them hatched. The guy we bought her from never mentioned.

She was off feed for a while, 3 mo. I think, and lost a total of maybe 100 grams. She has just hit the 1500 mark. She is a healthy, firm size and eats like a champ now, but how much weight could she have lost when she was gravid.

I mean, she is only 1500 grams now. What was she before? I believe she is the oldest snake we have. I like to think of her as being around 5 years, maybe a little older.

Does this show that an older snake will better breed when lighter in weight than a younger female that weighs a lot? (either from power feeding or just growing quickly)
