Unless you are a breeder any scale will work as long as it has a range that is acceptable 5gm or less to 5000gm or so. What is the most important thing is it has good repeatability. If you take the same object measure it turn off the scale then on again and measure the same object it should be within a degree or two. It doesn't matter if it reads 400 when it is actually 409 or something as long as it repeats the results. If you are planning on breeding I would suggest an accurate scale, when you tell a client a weight you know that weigh it spot on. Breeders should be concerned with accuracy better than a kitchen scale.

Anyone try this one out?

For the cheap price I am thinking about taking a chance with it.

I have that exact one, only it's labeled under a different brand.
It works great! I use it to measure the weight of my corn snake and it's spot on

This is what I bought, just because it was closer to me
