anybody have ball pythons that....

nogard Nov 15, 2005 05:13 PM

Weigh the exact same weight, I have a 1.2 and they all weigh exactly 110.1 grams, I have no idea what the .1 is for I thought there werent decimals in grams? Anyway, my male just shed yesterday and I thought that I would weigh him he went from 90 grams to 110 grams in 2 and half weeks, now i have to check out the females after they shed in a week or so.
thanks

Probably 110 and one tenth of a gram but it's just an even 110. How old are they by the way?

almost 6 weeks, I know they are slow growers it seems, but I dont know they are nice and plump, I feed once a every six days, my adult female is 2700 grams and its amusing to see the size difference, she is going into her third winter this year and hopefully will go this coming spring but I may not breed her, sure ball pythons are ussually docile but she is exceptionally sweet, maybe its just because she was the first snake that I ever bought online??? I have no clue maybe I am just crazy. Time for bed and I am rambling on and on..
thanks

if thieyre that close in wieght, maybe you're scale is wonky. and yes, grams have decimals.

There are decimals in every measurement. Some scales don't show the decimal and just round to the nearest whole number, but a scale with more precision would always show more decimals.
