that depends big time. Is it a 4.5 year old female that is 1500g or an 18 month old 1500g snake. In my experience older lighter females in the 1500g range tend to lay between 5-8 eggs and very young females if they lay at all you are looking at a small clutch of 3-5. Sometimes they give you more, sometimes they give you less and sometimes none at all. We will be breeding a few 05's this next season and all of them are already over 1500g and pounding med rats with gusto. In 2 months when we start to cool they should be around 1800-2000g with no problem as long as they dont' take themselves off-feed.
