more boring stats... Laughing

that works out to 8.9grams per feed/prey item eaten for snake #1, 4.2g for #2, 5.6g for #3 and 6.8 for #4.

They all get roughly the same size prey, so it seems strange that #1 & #4 convert more into 'weight' than the other two....genetic? or luck? (could possibly of had slightly bigger prey each feed??)

anyway...yes I'm bored, waiting for timber yard to open....more cage building today Sad

Laughing will weigh my sons female later today but I'm guessing she is nearly a kilo now..I got her in december 05 and she weighed about 200 iirc ...then in feb 06 she was 430gs..so in 6 months she has gained 800g's! I wouldn't say that I feed excessively either she is fed every 5-7 days.

Hi Tom,
I doubt it will be accurate enough for publishing anywhere but on the forum Embarassed
