Digital Scale for BP Weighing
I'm trying to find a good digital scale to weigh my animals with. I'm not trying to pay more than $50. So what are some good options to weigh everything from hatchlings to adults? What scales do you all use?
1.0 Green Tree Python
1.0 Kenyan Sand Boa

That's pretty similar to what I use. For big girls I have a 6qt tub that I tare on The scale. Girls fit in it, balance it with the scale and it works well. No need to upgrade just get a bowl, or container the girls fit in.

It's sensitive enough that I weigh my crested geckos with it.
I just wish I could find a way to weigh 4 foot long carpet pythons that are too noodle-y for a typical scale, but not heavy enough to use the "weigh-yourself-on-the-bathroom-scale-while-holding-snake-" trick.

You know...I just paid 20 dollars for one at wally world this past weekend. It goes up to 5000 grams. My only complaint is that the table is small...but I use a flower pot pan on top for weighing the big kids with no problems It even uses 1 lithium battery (included) which lasts longer than AA or AAA batts.

Could you put them in a pillow case? ( Put the pillow case on the scale tare it) Then put the snake in pillow case?

I got mine on ebay some store or something was selling them... It only goes up to 5000 grams but for the snakes and lizards I weigh it will work for now.
