    You answered your own question on the weight part -- to get the most accurate reading tou weigh after a poop. My snake doesn't always poop every month (even though I observe her tail slowly swell until she decides to go). That's just how she is, and she's growing length-wise and around so I'm not really concerned about it.

    I've never seen a poop with fur in it from her-- it's always been a solid mass with one exception lol.

    I agree that the size you're feeding her now seems appropriate. I also agree that keeping to a 7 day schedule for now would probably be best. Yours will grow at its own rate, and rushing it won't do any favors.

    Very, very pretty, by the way!

    Not a problem at all. Happy to do it and help. Nice to have someone in a similar boat to learn side by side with. We are on a weirdly parallel time frame.

    And you are a jers dude. So Jersey strong my man!

    Thank you very much! She is a beauty! And that seems to be the consensus that she’s been on an appropriately sized meal and should be on a 7 day schedule, so I will do that.

    Much appreciated! And yeah, the parallel timeline has been oddly funny. You may be my doppelganger from earth 2. [emoji23]

    Once the bag is opened I’ve been wrapping in tin foil and in a freezer zip lock

    They do look pretty consistent in size. I may have to give them a try. Thanks!
