    Are you looking for a digital scale?
    I FINALLY found an affordable digital kitchen scale that goes up to 11 pounds. E-bay is the best thing ever.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/11-LB-Digital-Ki...QQcmdZViewItem

    This seller has a ton of them for sale for 14.99 usd, free shipping. they also come with batteries, i have purchased one to replace my analog scale and the weight was off on my analog one by about 100 grams (!!!). so my 850g girl actually weighs 930. wow.

    For anyone looking for a usable scale for your herps, this is a good place to get a very affordable one.

    Theres something about a cheap scale that rubs me the wrong way though. Especially since its battery powered too. Cheap means its built with cheap parts. Could become inaccurate quicker. I went with a myweigh digital with a/c adaptor. Just makes me feel more at ease with its accuracy and consistancy.

    American weigh's have space to put batteries also, a/c adapters are optional with other scales. However I do see how a cheap no name brand scale is of some concearn... But they do make calibration weights.... Thats why instead of buying a scale from a herp website I prefer to go to a scale website...
    I prefer to buy from here thay have a variety of scales and weights http://oldwillknott.com/

    On your website (http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/in...&strVarSel=766), I found the scale that a lot of forum members have for their snakes which is also sold through Reptile Basics. Your website sells them for $34.50 + 8.96 for shipping to me, for a total of $43.46. That's more than what I would pay if I purchased from RBI (which I did!)

    Also, I feel really good supporting vendors within the herp community :gj:
