    Question about weighing BP??

    I had just bought a digital scale, and it has this good sized plastic tray that sits on top(6.5inx9.5in). My ball is around 9 months old and overall a pretty good size, and it's near impossible to get him to be able to curl up enough or be still enough to stay in that tray so i can way him lol. How do you guys weigh yours, being that any of you have a scale similar to that? Thanks so much guys

    does your scale have a tare button? If it does, you can set a box on top of the scale, and hit the tare button so it zeroes it out. Then you can put the snake in the box, and you should be fine.

    When he gets bigger you can just put a bigger tray on. Get the tray weight then put your ball in or do the zero out thing suggested above.
