    Life Lesson

    Don't get too excited about a digital scale at work that's not selling and blurt out in the meeting discussing "no movement" items - "I might want it - does it weigh in grams?"

    My VP goes "why yes it does Robin! Something you need to share with us?" I'm like "it's for my snakes guys! Sheesh!!!"

    They all got a good laugh at my sake. It's a scale used in deli's, but it only weighs to 10 lbs, so I think I'm going to pass. I was going to get to pay only 10% of the full value too ($350 scale).

    I also think it's computer driven, so that won't work for me.

    Too funny Robin! Get one like mine, it's great!

    Check out ebay though, this supplier often has killer deals there. I've seen this 7001DX scale on ebay from Old Will Knott Scales as low as $19.99 plus shipping.

    Re: Life Lesson

    I actually bought mine used from another BPNet member but I've always heard that supplier is top knotch. Sure can't beat this scale though some of my biggest females no longer fit in the bowl provided so I have to stuff them in a huge plastic salad bowl for weighing LOL.

    I love, love, love the hold feature on this scale so I can hold the weights while I wrangle the snake back into it's home.

    That is hilarious! What were the looks on their faces when you said "snakes"?

    They all know I have snakes and plan to breed them, so that's not shocking to them at all. I'm the weird snake lady.
