Hi, just some advice needed to check nothings up.

I weigh my three corns 48hours after they've eaten and keep a record. I moved Claude one 1 hopper every 5 days, and at first he was gaining about 3 or 4 grams each time I weighed him. However, the last two feeds have shown an increase in weight each time of 9 grams, and he's shot up nearly 20g in the last 10 days.

This is normal right? I guess snakes fluctuate in their weight gain?

He's been at the Jerry & Jerry.

Now seriously, your weighing stomach content as well, weigh just before you feed instead,that way your only weighing the snake.
