Same here as BigJay, I just made sure it could measure in grams.

I put the snake in a snake bag and hang from one of those digital scales off eBay . Similar to he type used by anglers / fishermen ..... they come in all different sizes and you can choose between grams / ouncesf / lbs / kg etc etcetera
Very cheap and remarkably accurate

I got mine from Walmart. I believe the brand is Mainstays. Works well, no complaints at all.

Re: Best cheap scales?
So how do you people weigh snakes that are active as there's no way some of mine would happily sit in a bowl on some scales ....

My adult king is a pain to weigh sometimes. But I have a tall, cylindrical old cotton candy tub that he fits in. He usually goes right in and sits still long enough to be weighed, but not much longer.
