For a corn snake to gain 5 grams in 5 days? I fed maximus 4 days ago..day before that I weighted her and she was 60 grams. 4 days later (today) i weighted her again and she is now 65 grams.

So is it possible...or is she still in digesting of the hopper from 4 days ago?
 
If she's still digesting a hopper then there you go. A member posted awhile ago here about waiting until your snake has pooped after a meal to get its most accurate weight. He/she remarked at how astounded he/she was that one poop could make such a weight difference.
 
What size mouse are you feeding? What's the rule of thumb, they gain 1/3 the weight of the mouse? You should see Big Jake- He'll gain 50 grams some weeks! Of course he has poos bigger than what Dean's little doggie can produce, too...

Hah! You'd be surprised! Sometimes he shocks and amazes me. I'll look at it and think: "that's almost half of your volume!" ;)
