Any head shop. Make sure you buy a standard as well if you want to be able to check the calibration yourself...

A lot of stores carry them (especially with cooking supplies). Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, Walmart, Sears...and so on. Then you have your smoke shops that may carry them as well as online of course.

Bought mine at Target. They go for about 10 bucks.

[GeckoGurl]

where in wal-mart (or any department store for that matter) would you look for em? Are they in kitchen stuff or maybe health?

 

[gixxer3420]

Ive got all mine from Wal-Mart. They are in the cooking section.

I found some very reasonably priced stuff on LLLreptile.com and Deerfernfarms.com. Or, bed bath and beyond carries them in the kitchen section. But they can be pretty overpriced. Always check craigslist too, you never know.

This is what we use. Weighs up to 500g.

Bumping to the top for suggestions - I will be picking something up/ordering something this weekend.

What do you suggest? Not rich but anything under $50.00 would suit by budget well...

Retribution - your link doesnt work.....

Walmart, in the kitchen/cooking section. It's about 20 bucks and digital. Works like a charm.

Walmart, in the kitchen/cooking section. It's about 20 bucks and digital. Works like a charm.

Only downside to the walmart one is that it has a +/- error of 2 grams. I found a local head shop with a scale that reads to the 0.1g accuracy for $100, just need to afford it. I'm wanting one this accurate for weighing hatchlings and eggs at initial deposition; it's the nerdy biology degree that makes me do these things...and the occasional voice(s) in my head.

I went with this one:
