    If you weighing your BP every week, you're not getting the true weight so what's the point?

    Empty weight lets you know exactly how much your snake is growing and gaining weight.

    I would switch her to rats now that she's still young. My BP definitely had a better time gaining weight with rat pups than with large mice. Plus, it's a lot cheaper in the long run.

    And I'd feed her every 5 days if you want to see a better growth rate.
