Lily update and question

I was just so excited. Lily just shed for the third time since I got her in Jan. She's gone from 24" to 28". Now if only I had a scale! Anyone have any suggestions where I can find an inexpensive scale? Preferably one I could go and get from a store, but I'm willing to look online too. I'm just anxious to find out how big she is! I know she's put on considerable weight! Just wanted to share! Did I mention I was excited?!

:banana: :D

I got an food scale from walmart for about 9 bucks (it is not a digital). I figured it would give me a close enough number for my records and I would rather spend the money elsewhere.

That's great :) For a good digital scale, look for ads on Ebay from DigitalSnail. They have awesome prices(on ebay not on their website). I got a 35lb digital scale from them for $13+shipping. It weighs in grams/kilograms and pounds/ounces, and has a tare and a hold feature. I'll have to take Amani to Jenny Craig if she gets over 35lb... ;) Just be sure to check the person's reputation, and how many good reviews they have versus the bad reviews. Hope this helps a tad. :)

Thanks guys for the help. Now to make a decision. That will definitely be the hard part!

try www.oldwillknot.com they have alot to choose from the model i got was a "my weigh" 6001 T. i think it was around 35-40 shipped. digital up to 13 ibs. and has a tare feature whick comes in handy.

I am now the proud new owner of a digital scale for about $23 shipped. Now all I need is for them to ship it to me! I can't wait to find out how much Lily weighs! Isn't that just down right silly?!?!? Oh well I guess I am just sad and easily entertained! :imslow:

Not silly at all. I'm very much looking forward to picking up a scale and weighing my little one too here in the next couple weeks. It's awesome to see how much they grow! :D

Believe me, when you get that scale, it will be like Christmas happening all over again :) You will be weighing EVERYTHING. "Ooh, how much does this salt shaker weigh?"... Yep, that was me. Have fun with it, I know I absolutely love mine.

I can soooo see myself doing that! Here look if I put the salt shaker and two forks on the scale I can make it exactly 2 lbs..... You'll sure to know when I get it too, since I will be posting her weight as soon as I get my grubby little hands on it!

(Thanks guys for making me feel less freakish!) :oops:

me: now that i have weighed my bps, how much do all of my geckos weigh? how much does the cat weigh? how much does an empty can of soda weigh as opposed to a full one? how much does this chocolate bar weigh--i need to prove that their weight on the package is correct. and on and on and on.......

ya i need to get a new scale. I had a little one thta went up to 250 grams but my fatty has topped tht scale out months ago hehe.

wait until you start weighing them before and after bowel movements, and them weighing their food. it can get addictive! lol

Actually that's pretty interesting stuff.. It never ceases to amaze me how efficient a ball pythons digestive system is

Wow...never thought to weigh them before and after their BMs. How often do you guys weigh your bps? I can't wait until that scale gets here! It should be on its way as we type! :clap:

I just got my new scale! (my hairbrush weighs 75g - it was the closest thing when I plugged it in) I can now say my baby is definitely growing. She was 24" and 134g when I got her 3 months ago. Now she's an astounding 28" and 335g! She's more than doubled her weight! That's so cool! At least I know I'm doing ok with her care! :clap: :banana: :clap:

... wait till you get your hands on a lazer temp gun :D

i am looking forward to that day myself :)

We are like kids with new toys! lmbo
