    Digital Scale for BP Weighing
    I'm trying to find a good digital scale to weigh my animals with. I'm not trying to pay more than $50. So what are some good options to weigh everything from hatchlings to adults? What scales do you all use?

    I use this one, may need to upgrade for large females though :)

    That's pretty similar to what I use. For big girls I have a 6qt tub that I tare on The scale. Girls fit in it, balance it with the scale and it works well. No need to upgrade just get a bowl, or container the girls fit in.

    I just wish I could find a way to weigh 4 foot long carpet pythons that are too noodle-y for a typical scale, but not heavy enough to use the "weigh-yourself-on-the-bathroom-scale-while-holding-snake-" trick.

    Severa
    You know...I just paid 20 dollars for one at wally world this past weekend. It goes up to 5000 grams. My only complaint is that the table is small...but I use a flower pot pan on top for weighing the big kids with no problems :) It even uses 1 lithium battery (included) which lasts longer than AA or AAA batts.

    Could you put them in a pillow case? ( Put the pillow case on the scale tare it) Then put the snake in pillow case?

    I got mine on ebay some store or something was selling them... It only goes up to 5000 grams but for the snakes and lizards I weigh it will work for now.
