    That's a great thing to note I always thought it didn't depend whether it was age or weight, so I thought I wasted money on buying a semi-pricey gram scale for him. But I'm glad I got this info, I'll be sure to keep that in mind! Thank you

    Hes gone through phases of not eating a couple of times because of stress, but he's been doing great ever since I improved his security and humidity. Maybe once I get his weight, you guys can tell me if he's at where he should be weight wise?
