I'd like some recommendations on good Digital Scales

I really like this one: http://www.salteronline.com/kitchen/623951/

It was $39. I'll never have to buy another one. I've weighed down to 2 grams on it (pinks). I recently figured out how to use the "tare" function, where you place a container on it and zero it out, so you don't have to convince a squiggling adult snake to curl up on it.

I have the one in the left corner. It goes up to 7000 gram, which is great for BPs. I just did a weighing ceremony for most of my '05 juvies yesterday, in fact. The big 'uns go in a snake bag then into the plastic container.

Now I don't feel so bad about $39! The scale I mentioned only goes to five pounds. The only things I have that will ever go over are the Desert Tortoises.

This is the scale I use, it's a postal scale from Pelouze: http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?...g=true&An=text

I've had it for almost a year and it's been great. It's got pretty much all the same features as the one Nanci mentioned, it's small, and perfect size for the containers I use for weighing my snakes and their food items.

I don't have any particular recommendations. I just got mine at Linens N Things and I'm happy with it. One helpful thing I read when I was looking into scales, though, is that a nickel weighs 5g if you want to test your scale. Apparently, some of them can get pretty off at the higher ends of their weight capacities.

Shhhhh ...just quietly the link:

http://www.reptilebasics.com/store/home.php?cat=258 doesn't seem to work now.

Try: "www.reptilebasics.com/home.php?cat=258"
Reptile Basics Inc :: - Digital Scales

Not sure if this is hyperlinked but you can see the difference in the address - "/store/".

Thanks for the original question and replies. I am probably one of many who now find that previous leanings towards getting a scale have solidified.

Cheers
