Recording Growth?

As many of you do, I am interested in recording the growth and whatnot of my baby corn snakes. I plan on getting a fancy little digital scale soon, but I am lost of what to look for in specifics... Can anyone recomend a good digital scale that will last me a good while and maybe where I could get it from?

Also, regarding recording the length of the snakes, how do you personally measure the length of your snakes?

Thanks!

:cheers:
 
to be honest i've never actually measured the length of my snakes, i just know that they are both 3+ feet long, because they stretch the length of their vivs!

you can just go buy a digital gram scale from your local walmart or whatever sort of store like that you have. nothing fancy
 
I have this scale from Walmart:

I'm not sure if they do site to store in Canada but I got the site to store so I didn't have to pay shipping which saved some cash...

As far as measuring length, I use a tape measure- It's kind of a pain in the behind but I have a Mac computer and so I can't use the program that's usually floating around-

You may be able to do a search for the snake measuring program on this site if you don't have a Mac...
 
Hey, a friend of mine who owns a pet store just got in new digital scales.

The big one weighs 1200 g, accurate to +/- 1g, and the smallest weighs 120g, accurate to +/- .1g.

They have a lifetime warranty! My digital scale is _always_ acting up- saying the battery is low after I have just replaced it.

You can even buy an AC adaptor for the two larger scales (the middle one weighs 300 grams) how cool is that?? (I have had a lot of battery issues...)
 
If you do a search on here, you should find a program that will help you measure your snake pretty accurately. It's one that I've moved from computer to computer, but always forget to bookmark the site..... sheesh.
