    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - likely the most popular scale used by BP members. I have one and love it!

    I buy a lot off of Amazon - usually have the best prices and I'm a Prime member, so I get a lot of things shipped for free. You can also find these at a few of the other online reptile supply places.

    I use a Taylor kitchen scale. It weighs in grams (which most people use in this hobby as a way to weigh their animals) and I bought it at target for about $25 I believe. I know a lot of people use this though. http://www.reptilebasics.com/my-weigh-7001dx

    You can get a decent one that goes up to 5000 grams/ 11 pounds at Walmart for around $20. That's what I use.
