Where to buy digital scales to weigh geckos?

[TranceZ]

I/m just curious where everyone is getting their scales?

If you are in Canada we get ours at Canadian Tire and Home Depot are good places.

i don't mean to be rude BUT... i don't quite understand the need.
Why do people ask things like; where do i buy scales? where do i buy a thermometer?

I mean, ... just... in the correct shops. Surely people can find a shop that sells scales or a thermometer. Maybe a kitchen shop, or a handy tools type shop, or a general shop. or.. the internet.

Its just common sense, and i dont think there is much need to get help on where to buy something so generic and basic... i mean fair enough if it was something a bit specialised to the subject like crested gecko diet or something... but its scales..

Jordan,

My biggest difficulty I'm running into here is that I can't find a digital scale to the accuracy level I'm after locally; I can find them on-line but they are rather pricey. I've been trying to find scales that have an error of ± 0.1g, but everything I find is ± 1.0g. However, I've not yet tried any sporting good stores that happen to sell products for making your own bullets. I'd assume such stores would possibly sell scales for such accurate detail/measuring.

I'm asking what people are using to weigh their leopard geckos and where they got them. You know what works for them. I'm not going to go to any old store and buy a scale when it probably is a piece of junk. That's why I'm getting people's opinions here.

Thanks for you post though. I like hearing myself talk too sometimes. :main_laugh:

i apologise for sounding rude and a bit narky.

I just think people surely must be able to find where to buy their own scales... its just like buying anything else.

I don't mean YOU in particular, but its a common subject; 'where can i buy a thermometer' ... 'where can i buy scales' ... where can i buy a gecko..

and anyway, the answer is always the same; 'Walmart'

Not too sure on that one

To help the OP, I got mine a few years ago online somewhere, unfortunatly I dont remember the name of the site... Cost me $25 shipped for a gram scale which has an accuracy of 0.1g's... If I remember i'll post, but i can't think of it right now..

The next time your at walmart, look in the office/stationary section. The one I got is used to weigh envelopes and small packages (up to 3 lbs) It can measure in grams, ounces, and pounds. Its pretty accurate and works great. Hope that helps better than all the wise crack answers..

I got mine from Carolina Biological - http://bit.ly/ehcKvs

I use My Weigh scales. I order all my sscales via the internet. They brand MyWeigh are some of the best in the business are are very accurate.

 

[im faster]

Most even cheap scales are accurate +/-1 gram..
IMO that plenty accurate enough to weight geckos..

i just bought the digtal scale from walmart and am happy with it

 

[MiamiLeos]

Sure anyone can go find a scale..

Maybe OP was looking for a place to buy a good quality product or where to find one at the cheapest price..

the forum is here to ask questions

you seem to be pissed off at nearly every question you reply to or comment you make about another post..


maybe you should take a break from GF

There is also always the option of going to a headshop...they tend to have a large variety of very nice digital balances.
