Confusing weights!

[Sue E.]

The last time I weighed Kai, I noted his weight at 397.9. Now its possible I transposed the digits but not really likely because I remember thinking that he is almost 400 grams. Yesterday I weighed him..two times, and he was 277.6! I zeroed out the scale and all. His tail was not on the scale..idk if that makes a difference, but I didnt see it dragging on the floor. I know hes been picky with no veggies lately, but theres no way this dragon lost 20 grams! (Is there?). Its a kitchen scale from Walmart...a flat scale big enougb for the dragon but not his tail

Oops sorry I meant 377.6 not 277.6.

20 grams though?? Really? That seems like a lot in a few weeks!

Make sure hes all the way on the scale -- put him in a bowl and see what he weighs

I was gonna suggest a plate, but a bowl would be better

Have you ever weighed beardie poop. A 20-30g fluctuation is well within the realms of normal

I hadn't thought of that, but now that you mention it....

Oh thanks! Good to know! Is 377 grams a healthy weight for him? He is like 20-21 inches long.

Yup that's a fine weight
