weighing question?

[punyhuman07]

what is a good scale to get to weigh snake with? i notice everyone uses grams so i was just wondering.... thanks jason

any digital scale should work as long as you know the weight of the container you weigh in or if the scale has a tare on it

Also, RBI sells a great one for snakes: http://www.reptilebasics.com/Digital...p-1-c-258.html

I use a shipping scale I got from ebay. It's the ultra-ship Ultra-55. It weighs up to 55 lbs, and the face detaches so you can read it easier than looking under whatever your weighing, its very handy. Esp if you ever mail out big boxes. (which I have as I sometimes sell on ebay) If you get one thru eba, which i recommend, ask about the ac adapter, the seller I got mine from gave me mine free.

weighs in grams, lbs, lbs & oz's and kg. Tares (zeros) out.

here's a pic of the scale and detached face

I got mine for a reallyyyy good deal, one of the scale sellers used to list them starting at a penny, I won mine for like 5 bux + 15 S&H. one of my good friends actually won hers for a penny.

heres the same as mine but only weighs up to 35lbs. 25.95 FREE S&H comes w/ ac adapter too. good FB rating from the seller too.
