Yeah, I captured her in Palm Bay, Florida as a 20 inch yearling back in 2005. She was apparently doing very well for herself too, as she had a huge meal in her belly at the time of capture. Looked like a tree frog from what I could tell.

Very nice. I like the background color on her. How big/long is she?

Hi Zee,....

I don't want to seem like I'm high-jack Jorge's thread..LOL!, but since I owned her for several years prior, I know that she was something over 5 feet long and around 800 grams as I recall from some older records I had of her. Maybe Jorge has measured and weighed her more recently, and can give some more specifics on her. I really liked her ALOT and she was always a joy to own for me. I wanted her to have a decent home and liked the idea of Jorge having and enjoying her since he has lots of other corns, and could use a nice looking proven female for new wit-caught blood for some of his projects...

No problem Doug, hi-Jack away bro! I have her thanks to you, and you had her a long time. I never weighed her, and now she will need to put back some weight. Last time I tried to measure her she was a bit over 5 feet, but I didn't want to stretch her she was fighting me.

Yeah that's the most I've ever had in one clutch! The eggs tend to be small and plentiful. The Okeetees tend to lay larger eggs, but fewer of them.
