    Best Brand of Scale for weighing Bp?
    I have one but it only weighs in ounces not grams so it's no good for weighing prey items unless they weigh over an ounce and I'm not entirely sure of it's accuracy anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    not sure if there are walmarts in canada, but i got one from there, digital that weighs up to 11lbs, can zero it out for bowls etc for your beep to sit in. Its a Mainstays brand, pretty accurate against known weight of other things not snakes :P

    this one https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays...Scale/49883592 less than 20 bucks

    You can use a simple kitchen scale and you can find some weighing up to 11lbs on ebay for about $10, personally I use this http://www.ebay.com/itm/My-Weigh-SCM...oAAOSwEBxZbIIk, more expensive but very accurate and precise.

    Can't give a specific brand but based on experience with wiggly slithers get one that is short with a wide area for placing a tub or bowl, as it will be more stable than one of the models that is tall with a small area to place a bowl or tub.

    Walmart ships for free a lot. I bought mine at Walmart in Canada. Amazon Canada is great as well. Got my stat and UTH on there for a lot cheaper then Petsmart.

    One that can hold up to say 5000 grams. Really just about any are accurate and the easiest way to test that is to take a US nickel and weigh it. If it comes in at 5 grams, you are good. Walmart sells cooking scales in store as well as Bed Bath and Beyond, and Target if you don't want to shop online.

    Don't even bother getting one with a permanent bowl attached, those are a waste of money. That's what the tare option is for ;)

    I use an actual infant/baby scale. Has a large area to put my snake. Weighs in ounces, grams or pounds. Its all digital and has a memory feature. More expensive but I like it and it does a good job with larger snakes.
