Jason, I reread this with interest, and Seth's experience is indicative of many of our experiences, highly variable and difficult to make conclusions. Your interest in weight is subject to some variables, as in unhealthy fat vs. lean and healthy, but they are the same weight... Like Seth, I have fed females a lot, believing it would equate with rapid post egg laying recovery, minimize calcium "loss", enhance fecundity and egg/neonate size etc. But it has not necessarily been the case, and some very skilled breeders have found "fat" females of many Genera to be poor breeders, so be sure to assess overall health along with weight. Folks I know who have found Drys in the wild state they are powerful and svelte, and usually thinner than what most of us have as captives...Vic
