Cheryl,
Thanks for posting the data that you've posted. You're right about my girl tracking closely with Female #4 and to some extent with Pixie #16. In fact, when Tosha showed me your page a couple of months ago, I felt much better about how my girl was doing because I could track her so closely with these individuals. Knowing that yours are still doing well makes me feel even better about my girl.
I have a buddy who's done neat statistical work for his research. He's not done anything with biology, but the principles apply either way. When I was trying to do a master's on oysters, he talked to me about some things we could do with the data. I've thought about getting him to help me work your numbers into something that would tell more than just averages.
I collect similar bits of information from others around the forums. This stuff can be pretty interesting. I'd love to see some statistical papers on ball pythons in captivity.
In any case, my girl is curled under her hide with a fairly full belly, so I'm happy. I've had some problems getting appropriately sized rats, but I've made an order from an online company. I've heard good things about them. If the good reports are true, I should have a good supply of appropriate feeders.
Thanks again for sharing this information.
Bill
