Is it normal?

For some reason my girls dont take their mice into the hides,but I try stay out of sight so I can monitor feedings.Carmen is a bit shy but she was the least handled of the 3 when I got her,but has warmed up tremendously from the past few days.Whats the best way to weigh them? I was going to put them in a small container,collect the weight,then weigh the container by itself,then subtract the containers weight,does anyone else do it that way?

Yes you can do it that way, or put the container on the scale, zero it, then put the snake in so you just have the snake's weight.

I got this at WallyWorld and it "zeros" with the bowl on top and give very accurate weights and is quite affordable.

I've managed to stuff 1800 gram girls in there with a bit of fussing and arranging but the scale itself goes up to something like 7 pounds.
