Easy! Grab a plastic bowl/tupperware container, and place it on the scale first, then zero out the scale (they usually have a button for that, if not maybe try turniing it off and back on.) then gather your snake into it the best you can. Nessie doesn't like to sit still either, I usually have to make a canopy over the bowl with my hands without touching her, just to encourage her to stay in for a second while the reading settles out.

I think I can see a line where light is reflecting off her spine in the part of her that is between your legs. For it to catch the light like that, it probably is a little more prominent than it should be, although it doesn't look like she is super skinny by any means. See if you can get her to eat a little more often or a slightly bigger rat.

She is pretty.

I like that butter .. where did u get her if u don't mind me asking

The light is coming slightly from the side and if you were looking in the place I think you were looking her color is also a little lighter there along the spine. I've tried getting her to eat more often but she dosent want to and the medium rats are (way)too big for her right now.

I actually got her from my mom's old boss who recently got into the ball python breeding business. Check out The Reptoshpere Facebook page, that's where she posts all the balls, the Reptoshpere website is for ordering feeders etc. if you really want one more like her(or one of her babies) i'll be probably breeding her in a year or two. Btw, she looks waayyy better in real life.

this picture was taken the day before I fed her and she had eaten two weeks before. She dosent like eating every week, I dunno why. Her setup is fine, temps, humidity: fine. Plenty of hiding places, etc. she just dosent like eating every week.

*Reptosphere

curse you spelling errors! I misspelled Reptosphere once! Once! And autocorrect does this every time now! Damn you autocorrect!

Just weighed her. She's 469.5 grams.

I was off by about 5 lemon drops.
