    Weight....I think My scales is messed up..

    Ok. So I was playing with my scale. (not literally playing, but ya know weighing random things). So I put this huge CD player on it and it weighed 230 grams, and I said....hmm...that feels WAY too heavy to be only twice as much as my beardie. That made me think, hmm...how come my beardie doesn't weigh that much? She is like 14 inches long and eats great...So then I weighed my 3 ft. BP Cupid (debating whether a boy or girl..), and (s)he only weighed 380 something. I really think my scale is off... but then I dont. Some things weigh the normal weight. Like my huge leo, he weighed 83 grams but the breeder I got him from said 90. And my other leo was 55 grams (breeder said), but on my scale she weighed 41...plus she's gravid!

    Ok so my question, whats a good weight for a 3 fter?!? And do you think my scales messed up or something? To me 380 sounds reallyy small....but I am not sure.

    Re: Weight....I think My scales is messed up..

    i have a 31 inch long male who weighs somewhere in the 350 gram range. he is in no way thin. i have a female who is about the same length but a little older and she is in the 600 gram range. she is more girthy just because she is female, thus the reason she weighs more. you should weigh some food items that have the weight printed on them and see if the weight on your scale matches. that might help you to determine if it is correct or not.

    if your scale can switch to ounces find something in the kitchen like a soup can to weigh and compare. or find something in grams and weigh it.
