I added some other data to my ball python's growth chart.
The feeding dates show whether I fed a rat or a mouse and the approximate weight. My scale's precision is only 5 grams, so I have to round to multiples of 5 grams. Food given before I bought the scale in December is estimated based on the weights of similar food items measured later.
The shedding "weights" have no meaning except as a way to show the date of a shed without that square overlapping some other data point.
The defecation weights are likewise meaningless. I didn't weigh them, but I'm giving them a weight so that they'll appear in the chart without overlapping other data. When I know the defecation date with certainty, the square is dark. When I'm guessing based on when I found the feces, the square is lighter.
My ball python will shed again soon, and I'm hoping that she'll gain more weight through the spring.
