Greenhorn animals can get very large; larger than many other zonata pops. Generally 50 grams is about where we have seen females reach maturity. Lzz can go smaller down to 40 g at least.
When I said 70-80 g that was for wild zonata. Captive snakes get much larger much faster. Wild snakes breed about every other season and they lose mass during egg laying years. It takes an extra season to regain sufficient mass to breed again. No one is offering fat mouse fuzzies ad lib. A wild female that is regularly laying every other year is probably growing at a very slow rate overall so it takes her many years to reach 100 g. Older females are also wily so you just do not find them as often and when you do they are way back in a totally inaccessible crevice. Laughing no doubt!
