Pay attention to proportion rather than weight

how do you weigh snake that big? I want to weigh my 6 year old but she is to small for my standard scale and to big for my pocket scale.

In an adult its more about the look rather than the weight.
Males tend to be lighter than females though I have had some heavy ones too.

A $20 kitchen scale from Walmart does up to 5000 grams.
