    Find a store that sells gram scales usually used to weigh food. They are usually in the kitchen products area.

    Yeah I figured that I would need scales. In just not entirely certain of the procedure. I guess I'll put him in a tub, after zeroing the scales and then put him in it! Just wasnt sure if there was a proper way.

    Yep, put the tub on the scale, zero out the scale and then put him in the tub.

    some young snakes will be ok to handle when they first start to eat. then they go into a stage where they will become more aggressive and strike . if you do nothing at all, most will out grow it. it's a stage that some of them go thru. if it bothers you where you almost dropped it. best to leave it alone until it gets a little more size to it. I offer my hatchlings food every 3 days, I don't offer them a large meal, but I still can see a slight bulge after feeding.
