Scales

[Hillsberry]

I am wondering what type of scale I should get to weigh my snakes? Not sure whats good in scales. I found a scale that goes up to 7000 grams is that good for a kingsnake and a yearling Jungle Carpet Python?

Or I found another one that can weigh snakes up to 75lbs. Which both my snakes will never be that large. But is that a better scale?

First one should be good enough. My nine year old jungle weighs 9 pound on the nose. I put her in a pillow case a set it on my bathroom scale. When their big this works just find.

OKay so the first one is good. Thanks! Yeah when my jungle is bigger I will put her in a pillow case and set her on a scale. Thanks again!

I have a scale that weighs up to 7000g (7 kg). I have found that to be sufficient for all my snakes. A carpet python will not top 7kg.

Okay thanks Kim!

I have scales for humans in my bathroom, just weigh yourself with and then without the snake in your arms, do the math and Roberts your fathers brother. Or, I also have a set of kitchen scales for doing flour and such, a plastic box on top of that, tare it, and again, Roberts your fathers brother..... ;D
