yeah I've actually been trying to figure out what percentage of "Feed Weight" actually stays with the snake. It's hard to track because you have to weigh the snake before each feed, weigh the snake's food item, and then weigh the snake again after the poop. But there is a measurable increase in each feeding but it seems to diminish slightly the bigger Rufus gets. Which would explain the fact they grow faster as babies and slow down as they get bigger. But best I can tell, as of right now, Rufus is gaining about 4 grams per week, and since he is currently eating 18 to 21 gram mice that means he's retaining about 20% of his feed.
