    Weighing scales

    So I noticed that the standard to measure your snakes growth seems to be weight rather than length, and im wondering exactly what scales you guys use to get an accurate reading?

    I got the 1000 gram electronic scale from mgreptiles.com. It seem pretty good.

    Re: Weighing scales

    I use the "Good Chef" scale from Wal-Mart.... but I'm going to be using the one that mlededee uses soon. The "Good Chef" works and all, but it has a power saving mode that thinks it's smarter than you are and turns itself off by the time you can return one snake to the rack, and get another one out. Very frustrating!
