    Kitchen Scale.

    Well, I am getting a kitchen scale today.
    Should I weigh Axel when I get home? Or wait until he has eaten 2 more meals?

    you're gonna weigh yourself on the kitchen scale?

    j/k. ideally u wanna weigh them after they poop b/c u want their empty weight. but u can weigh him now if u want. then weigh him again after he poops. figure out the difference and u will also know how much his poop weighs.

    Axel is 89 Grams, he hasn't pooped yet, so, he is probably less, do you think he still needs to be eating Medium Mouse?
    Oh, and really dumb question, but when do BP seem to poop?

    You'd want feed him either small mice or rat fuzzies. When in doubt follow this feeding chart https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...ython-Feeding-

    As for poop every bp is different but hatchlings generally go weekly. My guy poops every 6-7 days

    Wanted to add this, since it's on topic and my answer is limited to my personal experience. Deborah's response is worth looking at.
