Joe that was a good post and I have been looking into parts of it more. I hope to get a male palmetto this year and will try to breed him to a female okeetee in a few years. As for my original question about the metabolism being higher in palmettos I want to say yes. I have never done a true test for metabolic rates, but I have done a few feeding experiments. I will feed a same size food item (weight the same) to my palmetto girl and then to two of my other corn girls who are around the same age. Within two days, in most cases I can no longer see the bump where the food was and she is very active; in my other two it is still visible and they are still digesting.
