Weigh-In!

I decided to weigh the BP kids today; here's the results. Luna made me do it; she messed her cage up pretty good and I had to remove her for cleaning, so I figured a quick weighing couldn't hurt.. then everyone else had to be weighed too.

Ginger tips the scales at 1890g!

LaVey's a pretty big boy at 1538g.

Bela is getting there at 1138g.. She did NOT want to cooperate with weighing!) It is an accurate weight; her head wasnt touching the table.

And little Luna is at a tiny 112g. :)

Big group you got there Gin. I love the second one very very tight colors

I love the white creeping up Luna's sides! She looks so polite and tiny all curled up in a heart compared to the rest of them trying to escape!

You have such beautiful snakes! Love the contrasting size of Luna and the mature ones....SO cute!!

Thanks! :)
It is LaVey who was all curled up nicely; pretty funny, since he has the least tolerant attitude of the whome bunch! I love these snakes; unlike before, when I had some that I wasn't "attached" to, these ones all hold a place in my heart. :)

Awww they are all gorgeous but the little one is just too sweet. Lucky you though Jen, I have to bag most of our bigger ones...no way will they co-operate at weigh-ins LOL.

Lovely bunch you got there!

Bagging - now why didn't I think of that? I'm normally snake wrestling to get them to hold still long enough to get a weight! LOL

Even a light tap on the nose to encourage her to somewhat ball up doesn't stop Annie from squirming away! LOL

Bagging - who knew? LOL

Seriously though - very nice group you have there Jen!

lol; now, I want to weigh my BCI; he is definately going to have to be bagged! It is like trying to contain a fire hose!

We put our girls in their holding tubs (well, shoebox sized tubs we put them in when we're cleaning their cages), zeroing the tub on the scales before putting a snakey in it...

Carmen associates "bag" with "going to vet", so I wouldn't want to torture her with "bag" also meaning "scales" as well. =P

lol
The only time I really use my snake-bag is during cage cleaning, when Mark isn't around to hold the snakes. They kind of go into this still motionless state in there; it is weird. Even my BCI does this.

My like their snake bags/pillowcases. They will usually just crawl right in and settle down, except for Ruari who is now just getting used to the routine(snake out of tub, grab head, attempt to stuff in bag, grab head again, grab tail from latching around your leg, attempt to wrangle said 30lb heifer of a snake into bag, get snake in bag, pass out on couch). That's about how it goes :) The Balls are so much easier. Pop 'em in the bag and they are happy.

Sometimes when I weigh them, I put a bucket on the scale, tare it, then put the snake in. Works pretty well as they are more interested in the bottom of the bucket for at least a few seconds.

lol; gotta love those BCIs. Apache hates being put into the bag, but once in there, he seems to just settle in. However, he is only a lightweight compared to yours; he's around 5 ft (gotta weigh him soon, come to think of it..)

my BP is 6000g

She is doing So good!! I decided to be nuts and try to feed her last night, since she seems to have settled in so well; she took that little rat within seconds of me putting it in there. I know it might seem premature, but I just had to do it; it was like avoiding Xmas presents on Xmas morning not to, and she took it fine :)
She has a little personality all her own; always out all night exploring her cage, and curled up during the day in her hide. :) :) :) She's so well-adjusted.
