Pretty good model. Goes to 7000g (or little over 15 lbs).

I don't know what turtles you have, but the average baby scale ( I think Midwest has these as well) weighs up to 20kg.
The backside of this is it might only be accurate to 10grams.

I prefer the greater accuracy of the digital over the baby scales. I know from my own experience, I could be weighing anything as light as a hatchling snake or turtle up that weight only a couple grams to something as large as a 11 lb full female red-bellied turtle. If my current 6001 model scale wasn't still going strong, I'dve gotten the new 7001 model..looks wicked cool lol.

ya, I need to get some scales for home use, everything is at the clinic now. If I had my way, I'd definately have two scales, one for larger animals (tortoises, boas, ect) and another that's in hundredth of grams at the least for the babies.
