    really, for the money, this is the best scale to get that will handle all your reptile needs up to 7000 grams.

    When I shopped target, all the scales that looked like they would suit full grown BPs were just as expensive.

    Look in the kitchen/small appliance aisles. They'll be in the same area with toasters, blenders, etc.

    I agree, I'm going to be buying one of these when my current scale reaches its limit.

    However if you're looking in Walmart they should be in the cooking section.

    Walmart has them in the cooking section, and the one I bought was with the packing and office supplies. I actually purchased it over a year ago so I could ship things from home, and only recently started using it for snakes. Found out it has a 3 lb weight limit (or just below 1500 g) so I need a new one.
