    Re: how often do you weigh your balls?

    Never. Not once in over 20 years. I actually don't understand the border like obsession that people have with the weight of balls. I judge based on simple observation of body mass compared to length for any given species to determine if an animal is healthy or not, ad that's always worked for me.

    I try to weigh him pretty regularly. Somewhere between every 1 and 2 weeks. Seeing as he is fasting I see it as important to monitor his weight.

    Re: how often do you weigh your balls?

    When I feel like it.
    Or when cleaning cages.
    Or when somebody asks the weight of it.
    I own
    0.1 normal Padme
    1.0 normal (first snake) Cave Johnson
    0.1 het. pied Chell
    1.0 het. pied Wheatley
    1.0 Leopard gecko Muffin (given to me by my little sister, she named it)
    As you can see, I name my snakes after Portal and Star Wars characters.
    Soon (hopefully)
    1.0 pinstripe
    1.0 cornsnake (or 0.1)
    1.0 BCI boa
