I cant wait till she drops, she dropped 12 good eggs in the spring of '01

P.S. sorry for the poor conditions, she just finished shedding about 2 mins before this pic.

Oh My!

She is huge!

10 plus for sure.

Al....see you Wednesday night the 30th....Brian and I plan to come out to your place.

Hey Jim, How are ya. Just let me know what time to expect you and I will see you on the 30th.

This girl weighs just over 3500, and I would imagine she will drop 11-13 eggs for me.

I too have forund that the girls will use up 1/3 of thier bodyweight on eggs.

How much does she weigh now and what was her average egg weight last time?

Most female ball pythons put very close to 1/3 of their weight into the clutch so take her pre-lay weight and divide be 3 to see how much the entire clutch will weight. The number of eggs then depends on how big they are. 110 grams might be about average for a big girl so if you don't have any other data on her then divide her total weight in gram by 330 to guess the number of eggs. However, I've heard of females that lay eggs from 85 grams to 130 grams so it varies a lot.

Bring her to me and let me find out for ya, I'll tell ya how it goes! J/K I wish I had a female that big!
