wieghed him for the first time last week n he was 16g, weighed him again just now ( bearing in mind i fed him 3 days a go) n he only ways 11g, seems like a fairly heafty weight loss in such a short time to me, i kno if i lost nearly a third my body weight i'd be pretty worried, he is eating two pinkies quite happily tho, 2 or three weeks ago he threw up his lunch so a week later i only fed him the one and then he shed so offered him one just after that as well,which fit into his normal weekly feed. should i be worried about his apparent loss in weight?
 
Did he shed in between the 2 weighings? All of my snakes appear to "lose" weight right after they shed. It's perfectly normal.
 
If he's eating well and pooping it out rather than puking it out there is nothing to worry about. That is a big weight difference. I'd suspect bad measurements or else he took one heck of a poop.
