Inexpensive Digital Scale

[SPJ]

This post is for the monetary challenged people like myself. :rofl:

Royal digital scale. Up to 3 pounds with grams/ounces/pounds display and tare function.
$19.96 at Walmart.

This works great for weighing hatchlings, yearlings, etc.

[mmfrankford]

Thanks for the info. I really need to get one, and there are Wally Worlds everywhere. :)

[droogievesch]

I tried searching for it on Wal Mart's web site and couldn't find it. Are they called something else besides a digital scale?

Royal Postal Scale

And for the small snake owners, "My Weigh MX-200", max 200g sensitive 0.1g.
I have this scale for over two years now and it has performed very good. I did some research before purchasing it due to the cheap sounding company name. All reviews I found at the time concluded that it was a good scale.
Here is where I bought mine, FAST shipping!

Hello I got a scale given to me for christmas and it came from target,michale graves designes ran about 20 dollars works great for snakes up to seven pounds. the tinman

[jj-mitchell]

as bad as it may sound I found a analog i guess just a standard food scale at walmart ways up to 7 lbs came with nice little bowl (about the right size to put most ball pythons in) seems to be pretty acurate paid 8 bucks for it....

[pgwdragons]

Yeah I got my cheap digital scale at crapmart.. i mean walmart lmfao.
Nice and cheap.. like 16 bucks or something. not bad.. does the job.

Office max also carries them pretty reasonable with gram/pounds i think mine also goes to 3 or 4 pounds will have to look again, also does ounces!

[WingedWolf]

Target carries a kitchen scale model that goes up to 11 pounds in .01 oz or 1 gram increments. It's only 25 bucks. I use a similar model that they don't appear to carry anymore, I think it was even cheaper than that. It's a good scale--you can set bins on it, and accurately weigh even the biggest females, and the smallest hatchlings.

Harbor Freight Tools has one for $14.99 with a coupon every few months, otherwise, it's only $19.99. There is one down the street from me and it works fgreat. Has the Tare to put a bowl on set to 0 and get a proper wight in oz. grams, or lbs. It only goes to 11 lbs. though. Hope it helps! Oh they also have infrared thermoeters for 25. Just point and shoot and get the temp. It's laser too.

Hey Donna we think alike I have had that scale for a couple years it Rocks!

[brd7666]

I think the best place to buy a scale is Ebay. That is where I got mine. Check it out.

The digital kitchen scale from Walmart is terrific. Has on/off tare and looks pretty good to. Can't beat it for 20.00

[millcrickman]

I found a digi scale that goes up to 11lbs,with OZ,Grams,etc weighs to the .1 of a gram and .01 of an ounce. it cost $10.00 at CVS.

[alohareptiles]

Old thread, but check out RBI Reptile Basics...They have great digital scales at a good price with great customer service...Was using mine just tonight...

[RustyNuts]

They cost a bit more, but if you're looking for one to last you awhile (not saying the others won't) you might check out Pelouze scales. I bought one from Staples 12 years ago and it gets used six days a week weighing hundreds of packages per week and then snakes on the weekends. It's still going strong and has cost me about three dollars a year now.

[aambumann]

I use this one, works well. Face plate is detachable. www.oldwillknottscales.com/my-weigh-ultraship35.htm

[allreptiles1966]

I got a scale from Harbor Frieght too and it's been great for at least a year. I think it weighs in lbs, ounces and grams, up to 7.4lbs and takes AA batteries or the supplied AC adapter. It's also wide and flat so real stable. I paid $15 I believe.

[Shadera]

I just found Harbor Freight about a month ago. Love that place.

Check out Old Will Knott scales online. Great prices and services. My experience with "My Weigh" scales are they are cheap and inaccurate. Jennings scales are a super bargain and very accurate. I would rank Ohaus a close behind Jennings for price, accuracy, and dependability.

I ordered one on Amazon for $12.95 and I really like it. It's called WeighMax and it weighs up to 5,000g/11 lb. Here's a link if anyone wants to check it out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001M5NPP4/ref=mp_s_a_1_23?qid=1436870655&sr=8-23&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=gram+scale+5000g



My only complaint is that the bowl is a little small, but you can set a larger bowl in the smaller bowl and tare it to weigh bigger snakes (like our 2500 Gs). The picture on Amazon is also not accurate for the bowl size, unless those are miniature bananas and kumquats in the bowl ;).
