[Mikoh4792]

I wish there was a variant of black milks that would keep the color. I think their patterning looks the best out of all milksnake subspecies.

[knox]

Growing fast!

[swolek]

Hmm, mine is still only 55g (on an empty stomach, he eats tomorrow). But I'm feeding once a week so I think I'll bump it up to every 5 days like you suggested :). Darth is looking good!

That was two days after 2 fuzzies at 86g lol

[sharthun]

Just weighed Darth before munching on two fuzzies and he's now 94 grams!

[EL Ziggy]

Darth's about to join the 100g club Steve. He's one strong, lean, mean fuzzy eating machine!

Mine sure won't do that. I've got to get them into a bag to weigh them and that goes about as well as giving a cat a bath.

[sharthun]

[virtuousvixen]

Mine sure won't do that. I've got to get them into a bag to weigh them and that goes about as well as giving a cat a bath.

I second that. Although Hershey is easy to get into a pillowcase. But he just won't sit still on the scales like Darth

[EL Ziggy]

I have to put my critters in a container, weigh them, and subtract the weight of the container.

[sharthun]

I have to put my critters in a container, weigh them, and subtract the weight of the container.

For my other three, I place a light plastic container on scales, tare the scales and try to guide them into the container. Lol
