I use a cheap pair of digital scales, put a tub on top and zero them then add the snake. I often do it two or three times as the scales tend to have a mind of their own and make up numbers sometimes haha. Plus I weigh my snakes after they have had their post feed poop, normally just before they have a feed, because then it is more accurate. |

Bah..
You take a coat hanger and tie 2 strings to it 1 each at the 2 bottom corners..
You tie one string to a plastic samich bag, the other one you tie to the snake (using the snake knot* of course)
Then you just add rice or sand to the bag till the coathanger levels out.. bingo, you know (down to a grain of sand!) how heavy your snake is..
