Scales

[Jimmyman28]

I've been thinking about getting a scale to start measuring my snakes. Since they are about to come to that time. I was looking at this one http://cgi.ebay.com/7000-X-1-GRAMS-...ryZ50419QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Can you guys post pics of your scales or good places where to get them?

That scale would be fine. The only thing you may want to look at is how accurate the scale is. That scale is accurate to 1 gram. You could probably find a scale that is accurate to .1 gram. Ebay is a good place to buy one. The one I bought was about $18 total. I think is was $2 + about $15 and change for shipping.

Do you have a picture or model name of it?

This is the one I have:

Digiweigh BX-Series 500x0.1 Gram Digital Pocket Scale

But there are lots of others that are good also. Look at Haddaways other scales. They carry a lot.

I just bought a Haddaway scale over eBay, and about 3 other people in one of my threads stated that they happily have the same (WeighMax -- up to 2000 g, +-1 g...) scale...I paid $19 for mine ($3.25 on auction + whatever else in s/h...I'm too tired to do the math...!).

1 gram accuracy is fine for corn snakes. More accurate scales tend to have a smaller maximum weight, so may not be useful when your snake gets larger.

The only time you really need .1 g accuracy is maybe for weighing really small pinkies, or other non-snake related substances =)
