I weigh the pillow case on its own, then put the snake in and weigh it, Minus the weight of the pillow case, there is your weight!

| mine are large (five and a half, and three and a half feet) so they go in a pillowcase in a box on the scales- no bits dangle over the side that way. |

pic was taken a while ago - he`s now a little under 3 foot and weighs 287g (two days after feed) but he still fits in there, i can even put him on the floor straight for measureing, so lazy sometimes 
*and those scale were from argos around 12-15 quid or so |

I like the scales and I think I'll combine it with the other advice: into the cloth bag he will go, onto the scales, and then the difficult math of deducting bag weight from overall weight  |

| I find easiest way is to use digi scales, weigh a cardboard box, put snake in box and then deduct weight of box. Dont think Kellog would stay still long enough in a pillow case! Try and weigh him weekly, but its never that regular as you have to work around feeds and sheds. I keep a 'Kellog Log' - noting weight, length, date of feed, date of sheds, date of cleaning viv and a health section. Very helpful and may be necessary if any problems happen. xxx |

| most digi scales will have a zero function- put the box and the pillowcase on the scales, zero it, add snake and then there is no maths! |

That will be called the Tare funcion in case you look for it. Its a good idea saves messing about weighing stuff and then having to subtract from snakes weight |

| Ok, thanks! Scales, box, log. All noted and will come into use. At the moment still counting the first week so hands off snakey, only lots of entertainment watching him explore when it's dark. |
