1.How do you go about weighing your snake?: Do you just weigh a bowl, put snake in bowl and weigh both and then subtract bowl weight?
2.Measuring your snake? I want to keep a log book to help track health. How do you go about measuring a 2 month old?
3.Is hand sanitizer safe to use before handling your snake? I own both a snake and pet rats/mouse and don't want to get bitten by either for smelling like the other.
I'll reply to the ones I feel like I can help you out with.
1. I put mine in a tupperware with a lid (the tupperware has holes in it) and put them on a scale.
2. Try SerpWidgets' snake measurer. You take an overhead picture of the snake near a ruler or item you can measure, and upload it on to your computer. You use that program to measure.
3. I believe you should be safe as long as it's completely dry before you handle your snake. I prefer washing my hands before & after handling the snakes.
5. I believe if they're vacuum sealed and placed in an an airtight container, they will last for a year. Otherwise, they'll get freezer burn and won't be any good.
1) Yeah, exactly.
2) you can try to estimate by comparing the snakes length to something in the viv when it's moving around and then measure this thing. Some people use a measuring programm like this: http://www.serpwidgets.com/Apps/measure.html
3) Should be fine. If you're afraid it would harm the snake, wash your hands again after using the sanitizer.
4) I found some threada about that, like: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58881
In addition to that, here in Germany it's generally agreed that the moving water of a waterfall is a perfect place for bacteria etc. to grow and spread. I wont take the risk.
