" All about getting those new morphs made and getting the money before someone else makes them and does..."



I could not agree more Doug.



This 20 inch theory/fiasco got me thinking. Since I do love science, and the simple things in life, such as common sense in front of our eyes, I performed an experiment tonight.



Took me bout 10 minutes, but oh well.



Here is a pic of my Jelly male, who is 35-36 inches. Here he is with a dollar bill:







Another:







Dollar bills are 6 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches.



Here is a shot of him beside the tape measurer stretched out to show what 20 inches looks like:







So..to propose a thought that a 20 inch colubrid that is normally a large king, such as Floridana, and due to the fact that reporting a king laid eggs(s) at 20 inches, would make wonder a few things:



1. How big were these eggs? Were they for a Barbie-Has-Herps playset? In all funny things aside, how big could even the eggs be? And then, how big would the babies even be?



2. How many eggs could a 20 inch king even make, if even possible? Remember, they have lungs, a stomach, etc, so, in the space remaining for a 20 inch snake to even supposedly have eggs, how many eggs could possibly even be produced? Since the hatchlings of FL kings can vary greatly, and like you said, and I have seen, they can hatch out at 12-13 inches, what would be healthy for them, if at all possible, to produce and have the room for eggs only 7 inches longer? Perplexing, isn't it?



3. Why the rush? I forgot..the answer is clearly for all to see, like you said: " All about getting those new morphs made and getting the money before someone else makes them and does..."



Good post Doug!
