Look what just arrived!!!!

I am so excited...I just got my box from Reptile Basics! I feel like I am almost a real herper now. So cool!!! I already weighed all the snakes. :D:D:D
Elizabeth - 198
Henry - 177 (I cannot believe he is almost up there with Elizabeth)
And last but not least the new little baby Samantha is a whopping 78 grams!!

Sweet, Isnt it funny the little things that excite us! The other night when I got my scale I weighed everything too lol

New toyss!!!

aren't they pretty!!! :D

I have that same Temp gun and its great!! I suggest holding down the trigger and getting the max temp over the whole area. I love how accurite it is and how tight the spread is.

I love RBI, but you can get Chlorhex a little cheaper...

I only have one bp, mostly because my family doesn't like snakes. The moment I finish up high school, trust me, I'm getting way more. How bout you?

I got that same scale from RBI. I love it. I really should invest in a temp gun... :P

Yeah, I love weighing my snakes... it's satisfying to see their numbers go up, especially with my good eaters. :gj:

Btw, how old are your snakes? I think my babies are around the same age as yours, but they weigh a lot more - they're total pigs, LOL. :D

I'll take a snake over a diamond & purse ANY day... so I'm a dorky girl too, hehe. :P

Elizabeth is 5 months old...she looked so much bigger than that to me and I have never had an eating problem with her. So I was actually surprised by her low weight. Now I got her from a pet store....but a reliable one and they stated she was a she....but I have never popped her. I am a little chicken without someone right here with me my first time...lol

Henry is 3 months old...and a huge piggy.

Samantha is only 6 weeks and already taking adults...

Now that I have my scale I can actually measure the mice to see if I am feeding the right amount. At this time I just go with the size of their body.

Having a scale will really help with feeding, and keeping track of their growth rate... fyi, my hatchlings (Julius, Orlando & Vinnie) are all 4 months old and range from 300-370g. But like I said, they are total pigs! Especially Julius the Mojave, who's now the official leftover disposal. :oops:
