Disadvantages to large females and large clutch sizes??

[Bristen]

ok, somebody told me via email that there are pros/cons to large females and large clutch sizes... I won't name any names, but they have high-end ball pythons and they post on ssnakess.com...

now I can definately understand the pros, but I just can't figure out what kind of cons there would be... Anybody going to help me out? I just can't figure it out.. higher food bill or something? Seems that the pros would far out-weight the cons??

I'm puzzled...

Thanks,
Bristen.
