hi shannon
I saw you mention that earlier. You've gotta stop loading them up with carbs! MacDonalds breakfasts?
I had several that weighed in a little over 1300 grams a month or so ago, i'd imagine they're maybe pushing your female's size but i suspect yours is bigger. After we get our clutches this year we should share female's weight/clutch size data & see what the correlation is or isn't...i've been surprised sometimes at big (in number) clutches from some relatively smaller females, and vice versa, smaller clutches than expected (in number) but very big eggs, from some big females. Of course, i'm reluctant to handle my females right before they lay, so i'll probably be lacking last-minute weights on any number of them.

Yeah,I don't handle them at all once they have went into there pre-lay shed.
I am also suprised at the amounts of eggs and size etc.I have been wieghing all the clutches as well.
I remember last year I had a het hypo female that I thought would blow out around ten eggs cause she was so big,She laid three eggs that were over four inches long and looked like bananas.
Big huge babies but I think I would prefer the bigger # vs size since they eat so well anyways,
Later shannon
