Feeding your ball python

[sho220]

Congrats on your collection. I've never had an illness in a reptile either but i acheive this by doing due dilligence as an owner. I don't have a rheostat controlling my pets-thats guessing temperatures. So i dont guess my weights....

I've done my due diligence...and guessing weights of feeders versus knowing your temps are not even in the same ballpark...and I use Herpstats, if you must know...

Your legend of rats is what i use to write down...for the first month of owning a snake. After that I just wanted better paperwork and like to know whats going on, maybe thats me.

Efficiency is my friend...SR = Small Rat, why make that harder? Spelling out "Small Rat" adds no value...

Considering how much nicer snakes cost, how much feeders cost (my local stores are $4.70 each on sale)- why cheap out and not just pick up a $20 scale from sprawl mart or wherever. I dont have a 70 lb 70$ scale for big snakes but if owned any i would definately buy one, even if i only had 1 big snake...

Please point out where I said I don't have a scale. I'll save you the trouble....I never said I don't have a scale. I have one, and only use it occassionaly to weigh the younger snakes, more out of curiousity than anything else...like I said, I know my snakes. I don't have to rely on a gadget to tell me how to feed them...
You sure seem to do a lot of assuming...
