Recommended scales?

[jessicalb]

I'd like to get an inexpensive gram scale to weigh our little guy. It would probably be best if it would go up to the top weight of corn snakes (Which is what, 500 grams?). Any recommendations?

Thanks!

They can get bigger than that. I got a digital gram scale off of ebay that goes up to 2000g for a great price.

Edit: This is the one I got, although I certainly didn't pay this much:

This one also looks good:

Also there are 1000g ones, I sure don't think they get any bigger than that:

Corns can grow to well over 1000g so make sure to get one that goes to at least 2000g (2 kilograms) I like the one at reptile basics that goes up to 7Kg:

Hahah, this is the same exact one I have. I actually am thinking about maybe getting another, smaller-scale one though. I find that it is actually very hard to get an exact weight within 4 grams for the little guys with this one, so yeah...

Really? I've never had a hard time with it, I can even measure my 1g pinks on it :shrugs:

Yeah, but then mine is also pretty old and has been used a lot, so that could be it.

I dropped mine and it still works :laugh01:

Yeah, see? Drop it about seven more times and see if it works as well. THEN you might approach the kind of abuse my poor weighing-thing has gone through. :rofl:
