I would add, it might be easier and less chance of injury if you place a large enough bowl, box, or bucket on the scale, zero out the scale, then place the snake in the box so he can't get away.
And if he bites you, it's like christening a ship, it's gonna happen sooner or later, might as well get it over with. I would not want to be bitten by a 10 foot python, but a baby corn snake............ it's not going to hurt.
