It hasn't arrived yet, so I can't tell whether it will be any good.

It's not how many snakes you have. It's how happy and healthy you can keep them.

I got a really nice digital scale off Ebay for $20. It holds up to 31 lbs and weighs in grams, ounces, pounds..etc. Works great!

definitely check out ebay!!!!!!! i got 1 brand new for 99 cents. shipping was a flat $20. thats less than 1/2 what most scales go for.

thank you all for the ebay suggestion, that didnt even come to my mind. do any of you prefer a certain brand name? is there anything that i should look for while looking to buy a scale? thank you for helping me out.

just search "digital scales".

You might want to look under baby scales, I found a nice gram/lb one. They ate large than the regular scales and much easier to put the snake on.

The shipping was $15.00, but the scale is accurate to .5 grams. Just do a search for digital gram scales.
