The smaller scales can be a pain,I use a rub like said,as they won't stay in a bowl etc.Plus their abit big now,will only really fit in a rub.Which doesn't fit on the scales :P sits on the buttons etc :P
But it works :) |

for our bigger Boa we use a set of digital baggage scales. Just persuade her into a big bag and lift the bag up to get the reading. |

Thank you for all your replies. Digital, with the ability to add a bowl for the snake, sounds like the way to go. |

I use a digital kitchen food scale. Goes up to 12 pounds only but my heaviest snake is just under 7 pounds. It's pretty accurate. I just put a big bowl on top of the scale, reset the weight, then add the snake. |

Depends on how big your snake is depends on scales lol my small python gets weighed on Argos digital scales. But not got anything to weigh my 7 foot boa properly. |

I've got a £5 set of digital scales, need to upgrade soon though as the bowl I use for my big 'uns means a can't see the readout very well. There's some £15 ones in a Tesco I've got my ryes on though. |

Hi I got my electronic scales from argos , think they cost under £10 they've got a bowl that fits on the top which is handy as it keeps the snake still enough to get a reading . |
