    i love it it is very accurate and looks nice, does not take up a huge space, and has a container so the snakes sit in it for more accurate weights(one of my bps will go all over without the container).

    Mine's a Taylor brand from Target. Not as cheap, it was $30, but I guess it depends on your definition of 'cheap'. I think mine'll weigh up to 5000 grams? Big enough for all but Brian Gundy's giant female :P

    I work at a CVS (like Walgreens), and they have a store brand one for about $10. Looks like the one in the pics that have been posted. Works just fine (and booyah employee discount haha).

    I have a brecknell DS-1 its a cheap scale but don't have more weighing capacity. Why not you find one amazon because many scale manufacturer offering cheap scales with range of features there.

    With a scale just make sure it doesnt weigh objects from foot pressure, itll have 3-4 little pressure pegs at the bottom, Those are the crappy ones! i picked up one from showcase (biggest loose edition) was on sale for 15$ Just incase i wanna know how much calories my snake would be if I fried one up! :snake:

    I think all commercial laboratory scale are manufacturing keeping in mind about pressure. So that commerical scale will help you in finding accurate measurement with pressure factor and other factors that effect measurement.

    I have this exact scale, think I got it for less through Amazon. This is the way to go. Totally worth it. Highly recommend.
