How to weigh my lizard?

[hooklinebrittany]

What kind of weighing machine can I used to weigh my lizard? I'd love to know how much he weighs, last time I took him to the vet I think they said 38 grams. Maybe 58. I'm not sure. Does anybody know of a pet store that would carry something like this to way my little beardie Ivan?

Use kitchen scales you use to see how much flour etc you have.

It's best to use a scale that weighs in grams.

Here's a link to the one I use and the site I purchased mine from.

I bought a little digital kitchen scale as mentioned above. It will weigh in either ounces or grams. I tested the accuracy of mine by putting nickels on it. A U.S. nickel weights exactly 5 grams. I'm sure there are other checks you can do depending on where you are. Though to be honest I wasn't too concerned with the accuracy as much as I was wanting to track Sigrun's weight increase (or decrease) as time goes on.

I use a household scale. I put a baking dish on the scale then zero the weight out and put my beardie in the dish. That way I get the weight of him and his tail. I got mine from walmart, but any place that has kitchen essentials.

I just use a kitchen scale too. I put a bowl on it first and zero it out so most of their bodies are on the scale.
