They are both very great ideas .
I've never thought to use a fish scale, but it sounds much easier than stepping on the scale with a pissed off monitor (even if he is in a box).
I'll have to look around for a fish scale (I think my dad may have one) and get back to you all on his weight.
I couldn't even guess at a weight as I havn't picked him up since he escaped at 6 months old.

Hi, I`m going to guess he weighs around 2kilos or so (4lbs +)?
If I`m completely wrong please forget this post...
Hi Ben, that may be an even better idea than mine, though obviously I`m not going to admit it in public.... ( I answered first, though).
I too use fishing scales for weighing them (seriously).
I think as long as you don't admit it in public you're good. Secret's safe with me.
I can't take credit for the fish scale idea, that was passed on to me by Sam Sweet, although who knows where that grumpy old guy got it!

The ToL is approximately 3 feet- I have to wait until he lays stretched out on something then take an approx length so the ToL is a pretty close estimate- I can't measure him directly. He's just starting another shed, so he may be going threw another growth spurt.
The gerbils are pretty close to full sized (sometimes I substitute four mice if my supply's running low).
I agree he's not overweight, but when I look at Wayne's photos their stomach's appear much more toned and muscled then my guy's- just wondering if that means something, or if he's just starting to fill out...
