    Re: Is this normal?

    You answered your own question on the weight part -- to get the most accurate reading tou weigh after a poop. My snake doesn't always poop every month (even though I observe her tail slowly swell until she decides to go). That's just how she is, and she's growing length-wise and around so I'm not really concerned about it.

    I've never seen a poop with fur in it from her-- it's always been a solid mass with one exception lol.

    I agree that the size you're feeding her now seems appropriate. I also agree that keeping to a 7 day schedule for now would probably be best. Yours will grow at its own rate, and rushing it won't do any favors.

    Very, very pretty, by the way!

    Not a problem at all. Happy to do it and help. Nice to have someone in a similar boat to learn side by side with. We are on a weirdly parallel time frame.

    And you are a jers dude. So Jersey strong my man!

    Thank you very much! She is a beauty! And that seems to be the consensus that she’s been on an appropriately sized meal and should be on a 7 day schedule, so I will do that.

    Much appreciated! And yeah, the parallel timeline has been oddly funny. You may be my doppelganger from earth 2.

    Once the bag is opened I’ve been wrapping in tin foil and in a freezer zip lock

    They do look pretty consistent in size. I may have to give them a try. Thanks!
