    Harbor Freight Tools and Supplies has a nice deal for a packet scale that measures to .01 of a gram for like 13 bucks. LLLReptile also has a little one they sell for a pretty good price.

    Also I was thinking about getting this one for my self ...

    I use the 7001DX and just love it. Weighs perfectly, has a hold feature which is very handy when you are trying to control a busy snake and not lose that weight reading and hardly goes through any batteries.

    You can find it here....

    Having used Reptile Basics tons of times, personally I'd recommend them.

    i got one from target. i dont know how well its going to work though, i didnt think about getting one with an attatched bowl, so i have to put something on top for him to sit in and it looks a little precarious lol so i think ill be returning it. i like the look of that one online. the 7001DX i think?

    You can look around, also if you have a local smoke shop close to you i know they have a large selection. ;)

    Typicaly the scales they would have do not measure more than 500 grams - which renders the scale useless after your snake is a year old. Those scales are also MUCH more expensive i.e $45 and they are very small.

    At smoke shops? Since when? Last time I checked, smoke shops sell scales to weigh, well - stuff you can smoke (which is not usually more than a pound...)

    I got mine from Target for $30 and it weights up to 2000g. I would go with Reptile basics because for only $20 more you get a scale with 5000g more capacity and a bowl to hold he snakes.

    Walmart food section, $20, weighs all but my heftiest girl Haurie(she apparently weighs "err")
    I think it goes to 2200grams. Eventually I'll get one that weighs up to 5000 grams, but for right now, I don't need it, all but 2 of my snakes are still under 2200 grams.
    Cool thing, you can swap it to lbs from grams at a touch. Could be handy if you wanted to see how much chocolate you have on hand after halloween.

    I got a postage scale on ebay for around $30, shipped. It goes up to 56 lbs, I believe.
