    Weight variation

    A couple weeks ago I got my new scale and could finally weigh my snakes. So on the 26th I just put my Lesser on it to get an idea on him, figuring full/empty couldn't make THAT much difference. Well he skipped his last meal because it was shed time (I hope), and today I found a nice full shed (no easy feat in that damn tank) and a good size poo, so given I knew he was now empty I put him back on the scale and he went from 652 to 595....the poo was nothing out of ordinary for him, so is this a normal difference in weight from full/empty or is something amiss??

    Oh, and he ate with no problem shortly after i weighed him.

    Wow, can't believe one poo could be 1/12th of his weight (that's some dense ****), but it's a huge relief to know both him & the scale are likely fine. Thx, and I'll be sure to weigh right after poos from now on.
