Joking obviously!
That was sort of what I meant, but I didn't articulate it well enough. To use a better analogy, let's say you took an average person and put them on a diet with more fruits and vegetables as well as lean proteins and healthy fats. They'd probably be in better shape than they were before. That's the point I'm getting at. Perhaps the average captive snake diet is optimum; I don't know.

I can also guarantee you the calcium content of an 11g mouse and a 35g mouse will be different.
You're right on both points, but I think the figures were an average. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make though. I didn't say that the figures were bullet proof, just that they were interesting. And according to those figures, and adult anole would have much more calcium than a comparably sized mouse.
