I have the 7001DX and just love it. I can weigh the smallest snake or gecko but also our big female ball pythons with ease. I love the hold feature on it....very handy. :)

Re: Buying a scale?
The reason I dont like the Neva 56lb Postal Scale is that it works in increments of 5 grams. So if you measure a hatchling ball it's either 55g, 60g, 65g, etc.. You can not be accurate down to the gram. To some people, that not a big issue, but I like to be accurate to the gram.
This scale also does not appear to have the ability to program or disable the "auto-off" time. Nor does it appear to have the ability to remember that last weight mode. I hate when I am weighing snakes and the scale shuts off before I get the next hatchling on the scale, so I have to turn it on and then reset it back to gram mode, then weigh the snake.. and then when I grab the next hatchling in the back of the bin and get it over to the scale.. the damn scale shuts off again!!! Man, that makes me crazy!! :rolleye2:
I really think the MyWeigh 7001DX is a perfect scale. As a side note, you can get the Neva 56lb scale all over eBay "Buy It Now" for $11.50 plus shipping. Personally.. I'd grab a 7001DX!! :)

Re: Buying a scale?
^ I agree i bought the 7001DX after some advice here months ago and havent been dissapointed yet it is amazing and comes with alot for a little price.
I am guessing you want a big one to do other stuff with, if I need a scale for other stuff I will buy another...but the way I see it my scale is for my snakes...like my dog bowl is for my dog...I would never share his bowl with my snake nor will I share my snakes scale with my dog, but that is just me kinda weird with the little things....lol what did i just say
Anyways yeah get the 7001DX you will love it.
Side note: Just kinda wondering why you did choose a 56lb scale?
