    I got a new camera recently so i thought I'd do a few weigh-ins and close ups!

    First up is my Butter Spider





    Next is my Normal





    Finally my Hypo, no close up since he was being a little cranky!

    The bowl helps contain them a few moments longer. You tare (zero out) the scale with the bowl on it, and then add the snake to get its weight.

    You can use any kitchen scale from Target, walmart, etc. as long as it measures in grams up to 5000g. I bought this one and I love it: http://www.reptilebasics.com/my-weigh-7001dx


    to the OP, LOVE the snakes!

    What everyone else said is correct about zeroing the weight and containing. This is the exact one I have and the location I got it from!
