Im going to be getting digital scales to weigh my corn, king, and royal. Which would be the best?

Im looking on Ebay and most of them go up to 5kg.. would they be ok for now?

I dont know how old Rocco is... the woman who sold me him said she thought he was about 2 as she had had him a year. But by looking at the pictures and speaking to other Royal owners it was suggested that he was probably closer to 18 months, but weighing him would be the best idea to find his age.

I have normal kitchen scales but they of course wont be as accurate. Thank you for any advice xx

I bought a digital scale from Sainsbury, £9.99. It has auto TARE also, so put a small rub on the scale and turm on, its auto set to 00.00, put the snake in the rub and I have the weight.

I have scales from asda for the same price and they have this option too, Its a bonus being able to weigh this way.
