" Clutch size is absolutely genetic and has little to nothing to do with gram weight."
The more I hear and read, the more I agree with this. But there is something to be said about healthy egg:slug ratio and how that relates to gram a weight:length ratio. I think it would be nice to develop a type of "robustness index" for females as a decision making tool for breeders. There is already such an equation for snakes in general, but it is a large, cumbersome equation and has little to do with breeding.
