    I like to weigh all mine empty but I think is is more of a preference thing then a neccessity. Just be consistent with it and maybe in your records specify that it's an empty weight.

    Empty. You want to monitor the weight of the snake. Not wieight of snake and rodent. You can weigh the food item itself to keep track of food size.

    Hi,

    I weigh just after they have a poop and pee party to get a true "empty weight" :gj:

    Re: Weighing my little buddies
    I try to weight when they shed. They usually empty themself at the same time :)

    I also weight at any moment when I am fallowing a snake who is not eating.
