    Weighing in at...
    Greetings all,

    Decided to weigh my ball pythons today. Not sure how often I'm supposed to do it, but the last time I weighed them was on January 12. Here are my current and former weights:

    Lily (Mojave female) 254g (Up from 216g)
    Katana (Fire female) 284g (Up from 256g)
    Athena (Het Albino female) 286g (Up from 236g)
    Trinity (Spider female) 312g (Up from 228g)
    Apollo (Normal male) 186g (Up from 124g)
    Loki (Bumble Bee male) 246g (Up from 202g)
    Morpheus (Cinny-Pin male) 136g (Up from 106g)

    I think I'm seeing some good growth after only two weeks since the last weigh in.

    I always weigh mine right after shed. I also sometimes do random as well If I'm watching one close in particular.

    That's impressive... especially if you always weigh they after they've pooped.
    My little guy only seems to gain about 35-40 grams per month - about half of yours! To be fair I'm only feeding him about 10% of his body weight, because I have a lot of pups left, and two at once would be too much.
    You should definitely attach some photos ;)

    Here is my spider, Trinity, my chunky one. Really surprised me by her jump in weight.

    I didn't take any pictures of the males today. I'm feeding everything rat pups (Between 30-40 grams, depending on what's available) every five days or so, depending on whether they'll take them or not.
