Okay, now i'm currious

Whenever I get a shipment of f/t rats, the first thing I do is take them out of their packaging, weigh each one, and sort them into labeled ziplock bags, divided into 5 gram increments (35-40, 41-45, 46-50, etc). It occurred to me just today that I've never heard of anyone else doing this, I just do it because apparently I need to micromanage what my snakes are eating down to the gram lol. Am I the only one, or do other herp keepers do this too?

Nope, just you LoL

I do that with all the rats I freeze off.

I used to be more "selective" like that. I still am a little bit, but once they're on smalls/mediums I don't select-a-size ahead of time. I am just line them up by size from whatever I pull out of the freezer and feed my collection largest to smallest (females before males). We all have our routines. :)

I separate mine into individual Ziplocs as well. However, I have no need to weigh since my snakes are full grown adults.

I freeze meling off in 10 gram intervals. For my small snakes and anything on small rats or more I don't tho. I always feed my females first as well if one of my males refuse leftovers gö to females.

I do think I'm managing it MORE because they're still growing babies, so I want to know how much is going in and what they're getting out. They're still on weans, and got a bit more time before bumping up to smalls, (at which point I probably won't care so much).

I just separate mine by eye, pinky,fuzzy,hopper, xtra small, small, medium, large, xtra large

How I started doing things and its worked so far
