    Weighing Scale

    Heya guys

    Went to my local Walmart and they didn't even have any food weighing scales or anything...thanks Fairbanks

    I was surfing ebay and found this and was wondering if it would be okay to use with my ball python and any other future snakes, or would the ball pythons out grow it? Thanks!

    If I can't post this link, you can fix it and tell me how to post it right.

    Seems like it would work. I'd reccomend getting on with AA or AAA batteries though instead of those watch batteries that one uses.

    I have that exact one actually. Works pretty good, even has an easy way to 0 out for the container you're putting the snake in(they don't like to sit on flat glass with no walls long enough to measure.

    I actually got mine at walmart though in their kitchen section. Surprised that you couldn't find one.

    I just use a postal scale i bought off craigslist for $15. Depends on how accurate you need it to be, but yes find one that takes normal AA or AAA batteries cause watch batteries can get expensive.

    Re: Weighing Scale

    I just recently bought an actual pediatric (baby) scale and I absolutely love it. It is designed to cradle an infant so the snake fits nicely in the cradle - you can lock the weight in place and it comes with a AC adaptor.

    I did pay about $90 for it but I really like it and it will last forever.

    Just google baby scales if your interested in one.

    Mine was all digital so it was a bit more but some are dial readouts also for cheaper.
