Handling after feeding is often talked about (as was previously discussed in another post), but I hadn't realised handling before feeding was also a no-no. My snake always seems more alert and "warmed-up" after handling, so it seemed a good time to feed him. Guess I was wrong! I'll leave him well alone before feeding from now on.
As for weighing, if I have to move my snake when I clean his enclosure, it doesn't seem like the added step of quickly popping him on the scales to weigh him would add too much stress. Weighing the mouse before feeding takes just a few seconds so I'll keep doing that, at least while my snake is growing.
