Weighing? What kind of scales?

[RobB]

Seems like a stupid question but what kind of scales do people use to weight their snakes / whatever and how do they do it?

I'm just thinking I could buy a small set of digital scales but then need to stop the animal from moving off the top.

Alternatively pop it in a bag and suspend it from a scale?

Cheers

Digital scales. Place an empty tub on the scales and then "zero" the meter so the weight goes back to zero. Place the snake in the tub and whatever the reading on the scale says is the weight of your snake.

Tesco sell em nice and cheap, even come with a battery, they arent the most accurate in the world, think they work to about 2 g. They do the job though

I bought digital scales in Tesco (about £14 I think).Do as essexchondro says

Seems so obivous now that it's been said.

Thanks for all the info!

we use some big digital ones that are mains powered.. they can weigh up to 25kg.

so we can weigh the bigger snakes, in a plastic bin!
