Interesting ....

Suzy is out to confuse me .... could be reading too much into it (bound to be desperate for food after that cold starvation fun) ....

Out of brumation 26/12 and paired with J
29/12 weight 181g
has eaten 3fluffs and some salmon since in two sittings ..... and has been pooping away happily .
08/01 weight = 228g

47g .... in 10 days?

Before brumation she was 199g so that's 29g up on her heaviest of 2010.

Any stats for comparison?

Judging by my female's stats from last year, she never did better than 14 grams in 7 days.




Any missing children in your area, Greg?

Not that I'm aware of ... the average fluff is weighing in at 5-6g so lets say that's 15g of rodent .... and a fair guess would be that she's polished off approx 20g of Salmon .... that's 35g .... lets say 40g as an absolute max.
Factor in the pooping (plenty of) .... that's 7-12g of 'phantom' weight.

At least we know Erin is safe .... unless Suzy installed an internet connection in her colon.

I put J and Suzy together for a third time. Not even the slightest interest from J at all this time. I'm taking this as a sign that the job was done and that Suzy's weight gain is a combination of 're-stocking' and ovulation.

I put Fawn and Slithers together again just for luck. Slithers has been all over her although she doesn't seem to want to know at all .... Tail-slapping and general displeasure on her part. Again, after the spotting found after the first introduction her reluctance to play nice may again be a sign

It can't be possible for her to just magically gain this weight? Even if she is gaining weight from a pregnancy she has to eat to take in that weight, right? She isn't turning air into baby snakes.

I'm no snake expert but the Law of Conservation of Mass comes to mind when I read this. She had to of eaten something else or you goofed on the weighing... right? Is there some snake voodoo I'm missing out on?

[Hankj]

Well I guess air could come into play to make babies and a lot of water drinking..?

[gregmonsta]

Water could come into it, she might be retaining it as part of the process Or may have had a big drink. Mass isn't necessarily built on input alone though and I always check weight twice. Weight can be increased simply by hormonal processes triggering the restructuring of available nutrients in the body.

Well spoken, Professor.
