Re: hooray for weigh day!
how did i forget Corny???
Corny has lost weight due to my own ignorance in feeding. i really beat myself up over this the past month or so. he's gaining the weight back now that i'm being smarter with his food, but i'm a bit upset with myself. 320g

Re: hooray for weigh day!
Those are some good looking snakes! I love the variety. Random question: how do you get them to stay still on the scale like that? Mine move like crazy so my weights probably aren't accurate. I think I need to purchase one from RBI or somewhere that has a container on it. But I like your bin method, too.

the ones you see outside a holding tub are the ones that just happened to behave tonight lol. Yellow (first pic, 1.0 Albino) is usually a lump on a log, but tonight he was feeling rather energetic hahaha.
i just got lucky. don't be fooled: not all of these photos were easy to take!

tttaylorrr,
What do you think you were doing wrong feeding Corny?

Everybody is looking great!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Right now only my King is eating regularly. The rest have been hit or miss the past 2-3 months, and none of the others have eaten the past few weeks. Snakes being snakes, no major weight loss, just mildly aggravating. Hahaha.

thanks for asking.
just offering too small of prey for so long, assuming it was appropriate. he was on large mice from the pet store, but he was pacing his enclosure so much i started offering 2 large mice per feeding. i (incorrectly) assumed this would be enough; it's double what he was eating before! math!!!! i didn't weigh him for a while (because, again, assumptions) and only when i realized he hadn't shed in a long time did i weigh him; he had lost 50g. so against the forum's advice, i've been giving a weaned rat/7 days to help him get some weight back on. he shed out last week, which was a relief to me. i'm putting in an order to Perfect Prey within the next few weeks and will be getting ex-breeder mice for him, which are ~20g more per mouse than what i was feeding. until then, his next feedings will alternate between 2 large mice and one weaned rat, but i'll be offering rats to him more sparingly now that he's put a bit of weight back on and go back to mainly offering mice.
