>>However, the trends would only be as reliable as the data that is given.



I agree with you, but I do know that some herpers keep extraordinarily detailed records. My records aren't so extensive, but hey, i have my first two clutches ever incubating and one king possibly planning on double clutching, and another one that was given to me starting to look suspiciously lumpy!



I guess I'm always interested in the "Real" Data since I have a degree in statistics, and I know how a few bits of information from a biased source (a forum where people post more frequently for help than for the simple need to say "snake laid, no egg binding" can skew the picture noticeably. That's why I think that even if you only took the data from a few snake breeders who kept good data, that could be more invaluable than sporadic data from those who do not keep it very well.



Just love the numbers aspect, as well as the critters aspect. Aren't snakes great?
