Weighing scale

[joprukop22]

Does anyone have any reccomendations for a well priced scale to weigh the beardies? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something that will work :]

there is a scale on LLLreptiles.com but it will only weigh up to 300 grams i think is what it said...

The only place to get a resonably priced scale in my experience is ebay, everywhere else, even some ebay sellers, tend to target people weighing....something else so they'll be more willing to pay 5 times what its worth.

A quick search came up with that, make sure your looking at postage scales and not jewelry scales, i made the mistake and ow have a scale with a 2"x3" surface area with a 300 g capacity, good for a hatchling and not much else lol

Also don't go with the cheapest, some only measure in 1/15th ounce increments, and to weigh a beardie you'll want to see grams. (unless you don't mind doing some math and having a close but not perfect number.)

Thanks for the replies. I do want one that weighs in grams. That will be much more useful.

I picked up my scale @ Walmart in the house ware section for $10. It weighs in grams, ounces and kg. I set the bowl that I gave them a bath in when they where smaller, zero out the scale and place them inside. It is very accurate only a gram off from my vets

Wow! Looks like I need to visit Wal*Mart soon. They have everything. lol Thanks!

Awhile ago we bought one from Walmart that weighs in grams and pounds/ounces and goes up to 5 pounds. We found it in the kitchen area.

Yes, I know, I originally found the sticker on the shelf telling where it goes but none there. I had to come back and get it later, if I remember correctly we paid about $30 for it.
