A survey for all!
Hello fellow snake lovers!
First off let me introduce myself. I am a current third year veterinary student at the Royal school for Veterinary studies located In Edinburgh Scotland, and I have a research project to do!
Why does this concern you? Because I want you (actually your snakes) to be a part of it. All I am asking is for you to answer a few questions about your snakes. A link to my survey is provided below along with a quick summary of my project.
Survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/6ZJ33GL
Project Summary
I propose a simple answer the most commonly asked question that every new snake owner has, My snake is X length and Y weight, is this ok?
Through the use of owner surveys and in clinic patient measurements, my goal is to compile a range of weight and length measurements into an easy to use chart that acts as a basic indicator of how close or far away from average their pet snake is. Additional data such as girth, sex, age, and origin (captive or wild caught) will also be compiled for completeness.
Due to project time constraints I have chosen to narrow my project to the most commonly kept species, Pantherophis guttatus and the ball python Python regius.
Depending on how successful I am in collecting data there is possibility of this becoming my own pet project and expanding it to other species as well. Of course the finished project will be shared with all those who are interested.
Alternately if you have multiple snakes you can submit your responses to snakesurvey2016@gmail.com
If you have any questions about me or my project please ask away!

Damn it... you know this is just going to lead to lying when all the men on here insist their snake is longer than everyone else's snake. We need to have some legitimacy. I demand pictures of all snakes submitted, with a tape measure next to them to prove length and girth.
