Digital would be more accurate, but i use the normal kitchen scales and just get a bigger bowl that she'll fit into. Put the bowl on the scales and zero them, then put the snake in the bowl and place back on the scales. May take a few goes if like billi they decide to try to escape, but perceiver and you'll get there.

Or put snakey in a pillowcase, knot the top, and weigh in rub. Then wash pillowcase as snakey will have certainly got its own back by making a nice mess ... ewww!
