    Good affordable scale?
    Where should I get a scale so I can start weighting him to know more of what I should be doing with his needs and knowledge on his growth progress? Also what kind?

    This one has a 3,000g capacity, and is a great scale. You can get an AC adapter to go with it so you'll never need to use batteries. Mine works wonderfully!

    I bought mine at Wal-Mart in the kitchen section... max weight 5000g, and I think it was about $20. Works for me! :)

    I get mine on eBay. But yes you can always get one at Walmart, and have the people ringing you up think your a drug dealer.

    I used this one for years. My only complaint is that the glass top can pop off easily and I ended up having to super glue it on. Also, there's not bowl to put the snake in (because none of them will sit on the platform) so I had to find my own.

    I've been using this one since maybe October? I love it! I can't say anything bad about it.

    ^ This. I think I've only replaced the batteries once in 3 years, and I use it a half dozen times a week.

    I haven't had any problems yet with the glass top popping off (I have been weighing my 3000+g girls on it) but that's good to know! Also, I just grabbed a large plastic container from in my kitchen (like tupperware or ziploc) to put the snakes in :) It tares easily with the bowl on the scale. If this one ever starts giving me problems, I think I'll 'upgrade' to the one from Reptile Basics... but for now, this one works :)
