    I can’t find any decent scales. Would like to see which ones you use so I’ve got more of an idea on which one to get.

    I just use a regular kitchen scale. It measures in grams. And has to be as close as any $30-$40 dollar scale. And only cost me $11.99 on e-bay.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fb460eb308.jpg

    I put the snakes in a pillowcase and use some digital spring scales https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f579907683.jpg

    I have a $15 food scale from Walmart. I zero out a plate or bowl and then put the snake on it!

    Think it was less than $20. Bought it to weigh bicycle parts and now it weighs snakes as well.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...497af28828.jpg

    I currently have a kitchen scale I got at Wal-Mart. It was around $20 if I remember correctly.
    As my snakes get bigger its tougher to use due to the size of the plate. I'm ordering one like the one @Zincubus shared soon.

    It’s the only way I can weigh my 7’ Snow Boa :)

    Seemed so easy I do it for them all now , especially the faster King snakes etc

    Zinc, you're the man! I'm going to find something similar here in the States. I haven't been able to weigh my Boa, but this will definitely do it.
    Thanks for posting it, brother.

    I’ll just get one of them they’re easy enough to find.

    I couldn’t handle having snakes that grow that big. I’ll just stick with my bp for now :).
