when should I wiegh my snakes?

I've never really understood the whole weighing thing.

I weight them semi-regularly so when they DO go off feed (which they almost always do eventually), I can track any weight loss to evaluate whether I need to pull them from breeding, get a vet check, etc. To me, weight is more important in sub-adults and adults than it is for hatchlings, although it is helpful in planning my feeders to know everyone's approximate weight.
