    What scale should I get?

    Hey everyone,

    My Female Albino BP is 3 months old now and I want to start her post dookie weigh ins. Can anyone recommend any quallity scales? I don't care about price tags when it comes to my animals but in the same regard I only need something that will give me accurate readings and will last. Thanks.

    -Joe

    This is what I use. It is a regular food scale, but it measures in grams and works perfectly for my 3 month old BP. Hope this helped.

    Ive been meaning to get one as well, good thread!

    Im pretty sure any Walmart would have a digital food scale, if not then just buy one online. shipping cant be too much since it probably doesnt weigh anything.

    Will that scale work for when she gets bigger?

    Ehhh not sure. I just started owning snakes. Im assuming you might have to get a bigger one when they get older, but for now it works great. I guess when your snake gets older you could always set a tub on the scale and zero it out and set the snake inside the tub. That should work well. I just chose to use this one because Im a broke college student and I got it for free.

    this is kind of like the one i got looks wise but i wanna say mine was 20 bucks at walmart and it goes up to 5000 grams.

    so unless u get a huge female it should cover you.

    the one from reptile basics is what I wanted but the one I grabbed will work fine.
