That aint a bad idea i normally put him on kleenex and either offer the item with tongs or leave it on a plastic dvd cover on top of the kleenex.

yep and i am the same in colins case this is unheard of he has always been such a good feeder. To a degree its staring me in the face. His age, the fact another snake has invaded his turf, the massive rise in activity all the reasons are staring me in the face but it still dont stop me thinking how long is going to be and how much weight is he going to loose in the process.

I need to get me a pair od scales to weigh ginger with lol, the ones i got are ok for weighing the two little ones but gingers too big for it. Want to start keeping a thorough record of weight, feeds and sheds.

I got the same problem got no scales so I got no idea of how much weight he is loosing though to be fair he looks and feels like he aint lost any weight yet. I just had him out and was giving him a thorough once over and his profile still looks muscular like it used too. In himself he seems fine so I am pretty sure its just that time of year. Dont stop you worrying tho does it

Corns don't lose weight for ages unless they have a medical condition. They can fast for 6 months a lose a couple of grams lol.

Because they are cold blooded their metabolism is a lot slower than that of a mammal, hence why they do so well without food.
