How often to weigh-in?
I weigh-in every week one day before feeding. Biggest is only a bit over 300grams........too much weighing?

Re: How often to weigh-in?
I usually just go once a month and try to catch them when the haven't just fed. That seems to give me a pretty good read on their progress.

Depends on how much im watching them ... baby's u can see them getting bigger so I don't really weight them like that ... its when there around 600/650 then it gets harder to see the progression ... once there big I throw em on the scale 2 times a month but only log once a month in my records .. ..

I weigh when I feed. For snakes on a 7 day schedule it's every 7 days. For the small ones on a 4 or 5 day schedule, it's 4 or 5 days.

Ya, I'm pretty inconsistent. I kinda just weigh when I think they've gained weight (but then again, I only have 2 snakes)...
I think it is completely up to you how often you'd like to weigh. It's just a part of keeping track, like you would your own health.
Although - I dunno about you guys - but I don't get all excited when I've gained a bunch of weight.

Males I don't worry about it unless they're fasting and I want to make sure they're not losing too much. Females every 4-6 weeks unless they're being paired, usually right after they've taken a big dump.

in my view i guess i feel more safer knowing the weights of our bp`s. iam very anal, i have 3 note pads for each of our bp`s, with the morph, sex, feeding schedule, sheding cycle and weights, also bowl moments.
