Weighing A snake .

[Tracy33]

I was wondering if any of you can tell , how do you weigh your snakes .
I have always tried to do this on the bathroom scales , but with a heavy 9 ft CP , this is not easy . I also put him in a bag first , but he is just way bigger than the scales .
Has anyone got any other ideas on this ?

You could buy a cheap digital hanging scale and just hang the pillowcase from the scale.

This, like the one you would use to weigh fish while fishing.

That is a good suggestion! I've been trying to get a weight on my adult female BRB but she is too big and wiggly to manage on my food scale.

I think the hanging scale with a pillow case would be the best idea as mentioned above

I just bought one of those scales, excited to see how it works!

i stood on my scale alone one day, then got on the scale holding my big dumerils and it was 20 lbs more exactly.

Ohh I never thought of the hanging scales! I just took my retic down to the vet in a pillowcase and set him on their scale lol I don't have a home scale, but I assume the ones at the vet are a bit more accurate anyways.
