What kind of scale do you use when you are weighing yours? I had Evie weighed when she was at the vet about 2 months ago, but I would like to know how much she has gained since then. But I do not have a scale.....any suggestions?

Thanks!

An electric postage scale works well (usually you can change between oz. and grams) and you can buy one at walmart for like $10.

I couldn't find an electric postage scale that sold for $10.00 at Walmart. Is it possible to post the link, so I can buy one at that price or close to it?

Has anyone used this food scale from Walmart? It looks like it would work nicely to weigh beardies. What do you all think? Thanks

I use a digital kitchen scale similar to the one in the link you posted. The one you posted (link) is fine. Just place your beardie inside a tub before placing on the scale in case he bolts
Oh and zero/tare the scale once the tub is on and then place your beardie inside to get an accurate reading

I found a nice one at Walgreens for $10. Works well but it doesn't come with a container. I can fit the dragons on there, but if you have a antsy one, you may need to weigh a tupperware dish and then weigh him in it, and then subtract the weight of the container. That is what I did to weigh my snakes. :D

Just put the container on the scale before turning it one, that way it will be set to zero. I use a cheapy one from walmart too, it has grams, ounces and pounds on it.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
