    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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.

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.
 
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/B001M...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 ;).
