Aww poor chap, and poor you! Mind you he's such a big hunk and phones are so light, apart from the usual moment of royal startlement, he probably scarcely felt it - you'll have felt far worse.

Loving the diary, My mister is about 4 months now and is 140g, I cant believe your snakes at 440g and their about the same age. I upped the feeding as well to 5 days and Misters really enjoying it. Its like hes spent no time growing at all...

...in fact it was pointed out to me last night that when I have animals, I do manage to shrink them or make them not grow, I do have the worlds most smallest cat, when I took her to the vets 6 months back they asked me if i was being honest about her age before they checked her teeth. She was 5 years old but is still the size of a year old cat...since shes been spayed shes gained an extreme amount of weight, now shes a small fat cat...

Carly my corn snake was a mammoth beast when I got her and the OH is sure that she has lost weight...1 large every Sunday and any leftovers Mister refuses...

This is a good idea, I could do with a weight diary rather than a feeding diary...

Thanks Carly

Its just easier for me to keep record here, as I don't have a diary and note books always go missing! lol

Hey i'm sure its not you that makes your animals lose weight, just that all my animals seem to gain weight..our staffy had to have his colon unblocked after devouring a fresh bone from the butcher. Vet said he was dangerously overweight to operate but he came through fine.

Yeppers you could do a feeding chart with weights..I havn't weighed Fea yet..he doesn't keep curled up like Slinkster lol

So i'll keep a lookout for your progress diary
