How much food for a 400 g corn ?

Regarding the scale, I bought one at Target and the damn thing rounds. Example, a snake weights .64 grams, and it tells me increments of 5's, so it would say .70 grams. I am very interested in this one you provided a link for as it shows an uneven number on the picture. Just to double check, it does give you exact weights?

How exact do you need to be? If it rounds from .64 to .70 grams, you are talking about 6/100ths of a gram. A penny weights 2 grams. You are talking about a tiny amount. I don’t think you need to be any more accurate than that.

Do you really need to know exactly how much it weighs? I'm pretty anal about my records, but I'm fine with a scale that rounds to the nearest whole number. Knowing that one weighs 439.8g isn't going to help me any more than 440g.

Right now I feed my adult corns (males and females) an adult mouse every 10 days...they are barely gaining weight (3-4g) every feeding.

For general weight info no I don't need to be that exact, but when I'm tube feeding a neonate and it weights .21 and the scale reads .25 it can make a big difference.
 
Are you talking grams here? A neonate that weights .21 grams is a shed skin. You're not going to save it. Stop feeding it.

i was wondering the same. i hope your scale is majorly off if that is the case. on a side note has anyone fed those extra large adult mice off. i think rodentpro has them. i was wondering if like rats when larger would it be less healthy since it would be more fat content?

Is your scale measuring in ounces? A .21 ounce snake is about 6 grams and a .25 ounce snake is about 7 grams...I'm not seeing the BIG difference.

I use/used them. They don't seem to make a difference. They are better than feeding 2 mice to those snakes that need bigger meals.
 
I dont weigh mice anymore. All my corns are adults, they eat adult mice from the mouse factory, it leaves a nice bulge, and they are all the same size in the package. And my snow who is 400 grams gets the jumbos.
