You know we just purchased this female several months ago at the start of breeding season...the owner told us that he had sold her 7 or 8 years ago in his pet store as a hatchling, got her back some time later, and that she laid a "BIG CLUTCH" for him the year before last.

I was looking for big females that took last year off: When he said he would basically like to keep her, but every male he put her in with she "Whooped their a$$!" (in his exact words) I was laughing so hard I knew I had to get her!!!

We have have several 4000 gram range females, but they are generally disproportionally fat/thick and shaped more like blood pythons, and generally go not lay a whole lot more eggs than the normally shaped 2500 to 3000 grams females do....what is truly remarkable about this female is that she is normally proportioned, despite being 3 1733 gram females in one!! lol! Heck, I'd probably buy a normal male out of her just to be able to work with her true monster genetics!
