Weighing scales

Cazador · 01-30-2007, 11:43 PM

Hi all,

I noticed that LLLReptile is offering a pretty amazing deal on scales suitable for measuring all but the largest garter snakes. They're only $9.99 plus shipping, and they claim to be accurate to within 1/10 gram! The maximum capacity is 300 grams (~2/3 of a pound). In comparison, my scale is only accurate to within 1/10 of an ounce (2.8g), and I paid $40 for it at the post office. I almost think it's too good of a deal to be true and have never used these, so I don't know how reliable they actually are. Have a look, if you're in the market.

Thanks for the info!!! I want one! However, I also want crickets, and I note they are not shipping crickets right now due to temperatures... sigh!
