Why Exactly Are Snakes Weighed In Grams And Not Ounces?

yea thats what in saying i worked in a vet office and all we used was metric one of my friends is a bio chem and all he uses is metric one of my brothers friends is a chemist that cleans out the water that goes to your house to drink they use metric so in all reality we have converted its just not worth the money for the government to put out

Good luck to the Future Herpers of America!

I'm hoping 8 ounces to the pound was a typo!

prolly was cuz everyone knows its 9 oz to a pound lol im just messin

Hahaha! you're totally right. I should have proof read. I guess i'm just used to half pounds. ;)

It's 8oz to a cup.

Funny. I weigh and records our snakes in grams (well except the burm - you find me a metric bathroom scale for sale in the US) but always convert it into Imperial so I can understand it. =)

I live with an Englishman who begs on me as American still use the Imperial system...so then I ask him if he'd like go down to the pub for a half liter of beer. Usually shuts him up. =)

Grams are way more precise than ounces. It's 28 grams to an ounce. 8 ounces to a pound.

Don't ask me how I know this. :D

8 oz. to a cup, 16 oz. to a pound. I won't ask how you "know" that, but I have a feeling someone got ripped off. :D

I know how to use Google conversion searches and I'm not afraid to use it!
