[NewOwner]

What is a Good brand of scale that you may have used? does anyone have a specific scale thats pretty good within 40-60$?

Must weigh .1-500 grams atleast.

Just get a kitchen scale like you would weigh food on. You can buy them at Wal Mart for $20 to $30.

Hey Levi,

I was looking for a scale myself not to long ago, and got mine through LLL.

I also found this site while on my search, they seam to have a huge selection of various scales, and a section just for vet scales.

I really like this scale and its a fair price too.

I am not sure what the shipping will be, but it should fit your price range.

This is the one that I use. It's out of stock at Target but it gives you a general idea. Many stores carry similar scales.

It was pretty much dead on with the weights my vet would get too.

I really like the one Malicious had the link for. That's a great scale.

Please realize that this scale weighs by 1g, not .1g - I would get this scale.

The scale you linked only goes to 300 grams syn. he needs 500.

I however missed the decimal point, and linked a whole gram scale.




Levi,

here is a list of all the scales that measure to the 1/10 of a gram..

http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/search.aspx?gram-capacity=100g-500g&gram-resolution=0-1g-0-5g


BTW.... What are you measuring that would require 1/10th of a gram anyway? If your cham, or gecko takes a crap, it's gonna throw the whole measurement off!?!?!?

300g is good for what he has, 2 crested geckos. Levi, PM me when you get the chance.

Its not for Geckos. KIDDING.

i dont need it to a tenth of a gram, i was told to ask for one with that cause there better. good point though on the crap thing.

How do you like the scale you got at LLL Jay? shipping wont be too much.. and im just weighing my gecko and some of my buddys herps and stuff.

EDIT:

I was wanting it to be .1 - 500 so i can monitor baby growth closely when i breed geckos, i dont want them to lose weight all of a sudden and wait til its a full gram for me to notice, but its not a big deal right now cause i wont have babies for a few months

and as i said i need 500 g or more for other reptiles.

Howdy,

I have 4 different scales to play with . Each came from different sources. They have different ranges and resolutions from a couple of kilograms with 1 gram resolution with the most sensitive scale having a 20 gram max load with 0.001 gram resolution which means I can resolve calcium dust stuck on a superworm.

Here's a cheapie one that I also have and works fine. It is physically small but still handles 500 grams with a 0.1 gram resolution. Works fine for hatchlings and can still handle adults if they will stay still in a lightweight plastic box while being weighed. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93543
Harbor Freight doesn't seem to have walk-in stores in Canada like they do here in the USA .

You would think if a crested gecko pooped and lost a gram, you're overfeeding it or it has problems pooping.

i think he means if i got a .1 - 500 scale and the gecko was 27.3 g and it pooped it would then be liek.. 27.0 or so?

haha funny conversation here though LOL
