Who has the fattest herp?

We have just been weighing some of our animals, to check on their growth and before winter brumation sets in. We haven't done many of the snakes yet, as they have just eaten and that would be cheating But here are some of our weights:

Bearded Dragons:

Eostara - 19 months old, female, 18", 447g!
Osiris - 19 months old, male, 19", 370g.
Rocky - approx. 3-4yrs, female, 18.5", 290g (She is so much better now!)
Cherry - 4 months old, female, 8", 27g
Rose - 4 months old, female, 11", 60g!

Geckos:
Lily - 9 weeks old, 11g
Jasmine, 9 weeks old, 13g

Collards:
Piper - adult female, 12", 48g
Leo - adult male, 12", 52g
Baby collards - Donna's little guy is 4g!! Aww!! And the other baby is 3g!

White's Tree Frogs:
Kermit - age unknown, male, 26g
Miss Piggy - age unknown, female, 68g!
Bill - approx 15 months old, 52g
Ben - approx 15 months old, 55g

Awww!! So sweet!
I didn't think the baby collards would register, they are so tiny, but 3 and 4g is quite respectable I think!

We just weighed ours yesterday: the baby BP "Monty" is 116 gr. Our Brazilian Rainbow Boa "Talyn" at about 2meters (almost 7ft) weighed in at 1.8 kg. She'll weigh a bit more after dinner tonight!!

Boyd weighs about 20 pounds and is so fat that he has marks where his lard sits when he coils up. He's about 12" in circumfrence but he's not as fat as Charley The BPs are probably in the 2500g range, Ginger won't hold still long enough to be weighed but I'd guess 300-500g, Rose will hiss at me if I try to weigh her, Duke is between 60 and 80g and is quite the rhino, Camille comes in at moose size around 40g I think and Carmen is a bit lighter than that due to less than optimum care before I got her. These are just guesses, except Boyd, so I may be WAY off

I should go out and buy a scale to weigh my herps... I'd estimate these
Water Dragons
Char- 6 year old- maybe over 10 lbs (Shes gravid atm)
Ike - 4 year old- Maybe 12 lbs, he eats, hes got a belly alright..
Fang - year old - Maybe 4 lbs, she eats alot, but she gets rid of the weight fast.

Balls
Micheal Angelo- 6 month old- maybe 11 lbs, hes almost 2 feet now so maybe higher

Jaccksons
Yang- 3 weeks - No idea
Speedy- 3 weeks - No idea whatsoever


I should learn metric eh?

Mealworms, crickets, occasional waxworms. I've tried giving them pinkies, they refuse, they love mealworms waaaaay too much. I spoil them all. As I said char is still in halfway to laying her eggs, so her regular weight is like 6 or 7 pounds.Shes huuuge now.
