    I need a scale?

    I recently (today) aquired a adult female ball... she is claimed to be a "proven breeder" but how could one be sure. Anyway I recently had a scale I purchased from walmart but returned it when I found out it weighs in 2 gram increments. All in all I need a scale to wiegh my new girl because she is gigantic and I'm dieing to know her weight! Where can I find a decent reasonably priced scale? (I already checked out the one on MGreptiles)

    I would check www.reptilebasics.com

    Or if you just want to weigh her NOW, take her to a vet, maybe he'll weigh her for a small fee.

    wow I need to get an ebay account. My moms a science teacher so she gets all kinds of magazines that sell scales and other equipment. One of the scales was on sale for 1700.00 dollars. No joke. It was electronic but I still don't see the need for such a high price

    look for a culinary scale (one made to measure food)
    some go up to 2200 grams which is enough to weigh a ball python
