I use just normal kitchen digital scales (from Argos I think) for weighing my 2. Weigh them before each feed. Put a shoe box with a lid (with airholes) on scales, zero it, add snake and hey presto....snake's weight!
Kellog is weighing in at just over 700g now and that method is working fine with him, just have to make sure the shoe box is big enough!

I think some members including myself use these:

I put Elijah in a small animal box / fish tank, number 4 in the setup pic here:

Just put the box on the scalesand zero it out, then weigh away
I like Matty's idea of the fishing scales though, never thought about how I would weigh Elijah when he gets bigger. |

i just use my kitchen dial ones.. they fit perfectly in the little tub that came with it and it goes up to 500g's so for the time being its still ok, plus i can put any box on the top and it will weigh it just fine - reminds me i need to weigh aura  |

I also use digital kitchen scales at the minute. Picked them up for £15 in the Argos.
I put the corns in a small tub, i think it used to have jellies in and Rocky (because he dosn't like sitting still) in a small shoe box that i robbed off my little bro earlier on |

No idea, just get the cheapest digital kitchen scales that are accurate to the nearest gram. |

Digital kitchen scales for anything that will fit in them. I keep meaning to get digital fishing scales too for anything that wont fit in a bowl. |
