Terry,
I think it is still possible for your Freer female to get as big as my Nueces (se Corpus Christi) female. I estimate her at being 5 or 6 years old based on her size when captured in 2003. One of her '04 offspring is at least 30 inches long and weighs around 160 grams at most recent weigh in. I also have a young adult female from western Nueces County near the Jim Wells County line which is about 350 grams and over 3 ft long. I estimate her at about 3 years old.
I didn't weigh the eggs or neonates of either '04 or '05 clutch, but the eggs and babies were huge. 11 eggs first clutch and 14 eggs in the second. Here's an '05 neonate before the first shed.
