Re: scales
The scale I got from Office Depot has a max of 11lbs, and I can't imagine any of my boys are ever going to get bigger than that....not too many females for that matter. I know you own a larger boa, but once he gets too big for an 11lb scale you can start using a bathroom scale.

Well, never say never, but it would be a very big BP.

Re: scales
Got mine at Office Depot for $35. It uses regular batteries instead of those crazy button style watch batteries, has a tare button, and reads out in both grams and ounces. Hard to go wrong with that.
Not sure who made mine, but it's labled as an Office Depot brand. RBI has some nice ones as well.
