0.1 russian tortoise (natasha)
3.1 dogs (church, bandit, willy and tonka)
0.2 cats (squeaky, cami)
2.1 'normal' ball pythons (zenith, butters, zahara)and i want more snakes. guess you can say im developing a "reptile addiction"- lol

Staples or Office Max

I got mine from a housewares store....just read the boxes and make sure they go up to several pounds. I found a reasonably priced scale for up to 11 pounds that reads to the .01 grams. It's digital, light up screen and has a broad enough surface that I can put a big bowl on it to hold the snake.

Hope this helps.

Oh yeah that's enough. Just make sure it does grams because, I hate converting from lbs to grams and usually it's not as accurate. Oh and 454 grams in one pound so you should be good with that one.

Folks like LLLReptile.com sell excellent scales at an excellent price. Support those that support you, spend your money with other reptile hobbyists. Mini Mart Jones and Super Discount Corp don't care about your hobby, businesses on kingsnake.com do : )
