I'm trying to figure out the best way of weighing your corn? Currently I place the tub on the scales, zero it then place the snake into the tub and take a reading.
Only problem with this is he's a flighty wee thing and the weight can leap up and down. Is this normal? Should I just take an average?

I put them in a tub like you do and if they don't calm down, I add a bit of fabric to the tub before zeroing it. It seems to calm them down quite a bit if they have more grip :)

I weigh the feed mouse, then weigh mouse plus snake. Mouse keeps snakey quiet whilst I get the total weight, then I can substract the mouse weight Works like a charm for my wriggler (Aurora)...
