    Took some digital vs analog weights...

    Wow I’ve been insanely wrong with my weights of my Pythons....and I feel horrible lol so when I though bubbles weighed 470g he’s actually at 517, Daenerys I thought was at 145 is actually at 171, and Ramsey I thought was at 740 is actually at 823...wow the difference in accuracy is nuts.

    I can’t even weight my other two cause they’re both in deep shed, my RTB Anubis and my pastel enchi Ra

    Welcome to the digital age

    Analog can be accurate but the cost of those type of scales is ridiculous when a cheap digital can give you accuracy to the gram.

    Don't forget that if you want to check the calibration of your digital scale and you aren't some science nerd that has expensive calibrated weights, an unadulterated clean US nickel weighs 5 grams.

    Now you know why good bread bakers use digital scales; their recipes measure out ingredients such as flour by weight versus volume.
