Re: buying a scale

it depends on what kinds of snakes you have... I use an OXO brand kitchen scale that does up to 5 lbs, and i am very happy with it. It measures in grams and oz; in 1 gram increments.
I imagine with a postal or kitchen scale it will be reliably accurate and measure in small increments; as oppossed to a dollar store version :P

Make sure whatever you get reads in small increments.
