Just a quick question on where I might locate a set of scales to weigh my snakes. I didn't know if places like WalMart or Target had anything that would work or if a special set of scales are needed for these animals.

Secondly, how long does it take for a baby python to start eating once they've been re-homed? A friend of mine bought two normal balls from a Petco and he's had them for a couple months now. He called me a little bit ago from work and expressed concern because neither have eaten yet. He's trying to feed F/T to them but has had no luck whatsoever yet. he's afraid he's going to lose them if they don't eat soon. He mentioned trying to force feed them, but I've never done that and I wouldn't know how to safely go about doing that to get them to eat.
If anyone has any pointers for me to pass along I would appreciate it.
