Feeding your ball python

[sho220]

Oh yeah, I forgot, you are perfect...a condition I am not afflicted with. I'll stick to my absurd and unnecessary scale. Some how in my blind ignorance of your melon to eye ball ratio method, it's managed to get me this far

Do we really need to further confuse newbs by telling them to buy a scale and weigh both the snake and food??? Is it really necessary???? How has anyone managed to feed snakes before digital food scales came along???? Over...

How is taking a simple measurement with a tool that any good snake keeper should have anyway a complication of things?

I can promise you like the sun will come up tomorrow that I will always advise BP keepers, especially newbies, that weighing the prey item is a better method than just winging it and going TLAR (That Looks About Right)...

How can you keep accurate feeding records if you aren't weighing the prey?

How can you keep accurate feeding records if you aren't weighing the prey?

Like this...
5/17 - SR
5/23 - SR
5/29 - SR
etc...

Do you really weigh every rodent you feed to every snake you have?
