Thanks both of you for your input. I don't know a great deal about her history. I was told that she was a pet that could no loner be cared for and returned to a pet store. She may well have bred for the first time under may care. I'll include a few pictures of her below. The first is her "bee-hiving" last years clutch, the second is the clutch after she was removed, and the third is a picture of her from early last summer. My wife in the picture is about 5'8", and the snake is easily as long as she is. As far as there being a genetic component to her size and reproductive abilities, I think there very well could be. Her offspring have been wonderful eaters and growing well. The sire of this year's clutch is my reduced pattern male that is pictured in my previous thread below about my reduced project.
