WC animals do not have the feeding of what a captive does. We feed weekly some feed every 3 to 5 days. These animals that are coming in and laying did not wiegh that much before breeding.

I also see a lot of over wieght ball pythons when people are selling "breedable" ball pythons.


Another way to look at it is the females that are sent as p[ossible gravids. They wiegh around say 1000 grams and before they lay around 1150 to 1200.......................................
