4 grams a day  Thats quite a difference with the gartersnakes I'm used to!
Good luck, I'm sure the eggs will be perfect

She may surprise you yet Scott I wish some of mine would put on 4g per day, some aren't doing that a month I dont think, would help if they ate occasionally though

nah I weighed her on the 31st Oct and then at her PLS.
this year I am keeping quite a few records on weight gain, clutch sizes, weight loss after laying etc, see if I can see an optimum weight for breeding etc

I take it that by "keeping quite a few records ..." what you mean is that you're actually making a point of writing things down??? Only reason I ask is that your last comment to me on this subject went along the lines of "she laid 6 eggs - or it might have been 5 and 2 slugs, no, wait a minute 3 slugs yesterday. I mean the day before. No, hang on, it was 7 eggs and 1 slug this morning. Actually, now that I think about it, she wasn't actually gravid ..." 
That said, you're still doing a great job. Keep up the good work ....

I feel a good whipping coming along shortly after a remark like that Dave I hope you've got a fast jet out of the country
Record keeping is good as long as you can find the time to fit it in I meant writing things down by the way after the way the other thread is going Even my records have records  I'm a little paranoid so have to wriite everything down just to be sure

that reminds me, I best put that new thermostat on your bank of snakes...they were all looking a little hot this morning....either that or they all decide to take a bath in their water bowls at the same time
also Dave, I candled those last eggs of yours last night but the phone rang (some looney at an airport) and I totally forgot about the eggs over those candles
I think they'll be ok...just need to get the charring off one side  On the plus side it may of shaved a few weeks off the incubation time
