Freshly shed, poo'd and growth comparison

When I got Karma, she was 8 mos old and weighed in at a whopping 27.5g ( March 8th).

As of today, she weighs 64.5g and that is after she shed and poo'd. Not too bad in growth eh She has shed monthly since coming here.

Now, on with some pics.







thanks for lookin

Definately growing nicely

I am glad that she's doing well for you

Fishandsnakelov,

well I know Chris measures the weight with a digital scale. Just put the snake on the scale and weight it. If it wont hold still you can put it in a box (measure the weight of the box first) and then put the snake in the box to measure. Either resting the scale to 0 with the box on or subtracting the weight.

yep Simon is right.....as well, my scale has a TARE function, so I put the container on the scale, weigh the container, hit TARE and add snake. My scale goes in .5g increments.

Thanks for the compliments. I am quite partial to Karma
She is doing sooooo well.
