I weight all my reps. Although I'm old school and prefer pounds and ounces, the scales I use for my lizards are callibrated in grams.

Sorry to jump on your thread but seeing as your talking about weight.. what type of scales do you all use? I haven't got any but was thinking about it as I will hopefully have some baby's in the future so will need to invest at some point.

Any good un's out there?

I havent been able to weigh my beardie yet. For some unknown reason my mum decided to throw away our food scales. Ill have to buy some cheap ones soon.

Im really interested to see how much Darwin weighs. On 14.02.10 he was measured 8.7 inch long @ 11 weeks old.

Id just use regular kitchen scales. Preferably digital but not essential.
