Checking gecko's weight..

nimvix Jan 08, 2004 12:18 AM

What would be a good scale to use to monitor the weight of my gecko? I'm afraid she has lost a little weight, but I'm not sure if its just paranoia.

Also, where can I get whatever scale you suggest and lastly, about how much will it cost?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

You can go to any office supply store and buy a postal scale. A basic digital one usually costs $25-$40 depending on what's on sale. I bought mine off of eBay for about $30ish.

I just ordered one from them the I250 and its exactly what i had hoped for. It was rather inexpensive (only 51 dollars with shipping) and was here within a week of shipping via fedex. They were real easy to deal with especially when i ordered 1 scale found out it was out of stock so i had to reorder again right in the middle of the holiday mess. Its a great product and i would recommend getting one.

I already had a small kitchen food scale, not digital, that I use. It measures in 5 oz incriments, but it's fine for watching their weight... It was bought from Walmart for less than $10.
