Thanks!

I guess I'm more comfortable weighing the food because it's easier than trying to eye up my ball python's tummy with the rat he's a mover. Plus I already weigh for my corn snake (because I follow the Munson feeding chart with her).

I don't weight the rats any more over time I know what a 65 grams and 125 grams rats look like

Work for me my animals eats with consistency and rarely go off food (except for gravid females of course)
This was very helpful!! I appreciate it, thank you.
