Hello! I'm new here, and I just got my snake(California Kingsnake) a few months ago. She is young, and I would like to start weighing her! What sort of scale should I use? I was thinking one of those kitchen scales would work because they measure so accurately, but most of them are pretty small...

Hi guys im looking to buy some sort of scale for weighing my corns that I have just now, mainly so I can start following a feeding chart. I would be recording this in grams so a scale that can measure that would be my best bet, but I would like to know what other guys do/use to weigh their...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I've had a beardie for about six weeks now. He's about 9/10 months old as we were told. I'm concerned that he appears to have lost weight and is maybe too skinny. He is 17 inches in length (1 inch bigger than when I got him) but seems to look quite thin when he...
