    Re: Scales

    i think thats the scale i have (mine is white). it works very well. I've been told that only the AC outlet adaptable ones are "good" but this one is battery operated and i use it for my snakes with great success.

    I may buy a plug in one later when i breed and stuff, but for right now this does the trick just fine.

    Re: Scales

    I just got mine today, but I think it's broken. It has one button that does on/off, tare, and changes units. But mine isn't changing units from oz, it either tares it or turns it off (go figure). Anyone else with this problem?

    Re: Scales

    I wish i could of said something sooner.

    I bought the same exact one in white and it kinda sucks.
    First off i bought 2 of them and the first one broke after the third use.
    Second i have a more axpensive scale and it is dead on(i have weights) and this one would be off by 10-20g every time i use it.
    Third it is very flimsy, i dropped the second one from about 2 fee and the top part of the scale flew off and the display cracked.

    Hope you have better luck with it than i did.

    The button for it to change modes is on the bottom, the instructions are all wrong.

    It works fine for me. It's dead on, I checked it up against some 2 LB weights my wife has. Its cheap enough that if it breaks I can get another one. When my collection grows Ill splurge on a 40 dollar namebrand one, but this is cool for now.
