I would say about 700g, but really its very hard to give a value for what it should be. Posting a picture will show the weight better.

Ok this may sound really stupid but how in the hell do you guys manage to weigh your snakes? Ive had visions of kitchen scales...bathroom scales...luggage weighers...do you bag them up??? What??? My snakes dont stay still long enough for any of those, though i do admit to never having bagged them up. Is that the secret? A pillow case and a luggage hook?? Have i just answered my own question??

Or if snake is obstreperous, weigh rub and an old pillowcase on scales before reducing gauge to zero, place snakey in pillowcaseand knot top, place in rub, place on scales - and, voila, weight of snakey!
