Bella's first Shed

So somehow in the 5 minutes it's been since I first weighed Bella she decided to shed for the first time!! I'm so proud of her it came off all in one piece I'm so excited!!

Hooray for Bella! Keep in mind that shed skin stretches a lot, so she's probably a bit shorter than that. Still with a shed that long, I wonder if something might be wonky with your scale. Make sure it's on a solid, flat surface and try weighing a few nickels one at a time. They should be 5g each.

check the instructions that came with the scale. Some of them can be calibrated. Maybe your scale needs to be calibrated. Also, I assume you are weighing the snake while inside a small bowl or tub placed on the scale. Therefore you are weighing both the snake and the container. You should make sure the scale reads 0 (Zero) with the bowl on the pad, and then insert the snake (in case you're not doing it like that).

Yeah I made sure to tare it after putting the bowl on! It can't be calibrated either I'm so bummed! But it says a nickel weighs 2 grams instead of 5 and says Bella weighs 8 grams so I'm guessing she really weighs more like 20g

I'd say it might have been due to shipping because the box it came in was a little dented like it had gotten smashed around!!
