Honestly, I do not have a single clue. I got her at 2000 grams as a virgin, the first month she did not have a single meal and lost close to 1000 grams over time. She started taking meals and gained it back. I can not tell you how or why but she did. I can't tell you how my female black back gained 900 grams in 5 months after laying a clutch. Maybe because she was already of that size and it was easy for her to gain it back. I'm sure if googled something like this will pop up. I understand it's alot of weight and I was sure as heck baffled at this as well. But she was 2000 grams when he bought her.
