A Question About Scales(The Weighing Kind)

I am still trying to find a decently priced and decently sized digital scale. Everything I find seems to be either to small or to expensive. I was wondering how important is it for the scale to weigh in tenths of a gram? If I can settle for one that weighs in 1g increments it would make things much easier.
 
Unless you're trying to pay very specific attention to a hatchlings weight for health concern reasons, you should be more than fine with 1g increments.
 
I have two scales. One for hatchlings that weighs in tenths of a gram but has a fairly low top weight, and a bigger scale for the bigger snakes that only weighs to the single gram. I found each for a pretty good price. If your snake is small and you want to follow the weight very closely get a smaller scale to work for now. If you have a larger snake get a scale that only weighs to the gram but will accommodates your snake for the rest of their life.
 
I have a digital kitchen scale that weighs in tenths, which was only $19 Canadian, and everything costs more here. I haven't had it scientifically calibrated but I assume it's reasonably accurate. It's flat so I can put a clear cake dome on it for weighing my bigger snakes.
 
Here are my scale recommendations.

I think the large scale I like periodically gets out of stock- the other color works just fine.
 
I would but they only ship inside the US. I found one on ebay a 2000g/0.1g Saga with a 6x6 weighing platform. It's about the same price, here's hoping it's similar in quality.
