Measuring my snake,error in software

Hi there.

I have posted this in another forum but with no reply,i decided to keep records on my ball pythons(should have started a while ago) i need to get a accurate measurment of my ball pythons.

Could anyone measure them using the snake measurer software,this software does'nt seem to want to work on my computer.

Thanks too anyone willing to help.

I use that program myself, but not sure why it wont work on your computer, maybe contact who wrote the program for help.

Maybe try re-installing it again, after a full delete. Folder in "c" drive too needs to be deleted.

The pictures need to be a straight up-and-down shot, looking at the snake like an aerial shot. Pictures such as those you posted won't give you an accurate measurement at all.

Hope that helps a bit to get you a good measurement of your snakes :)

For the first picture...33.4"

For the second picture...41.3"


....but IMO...Those are not really good pictures for the program. Take the pictures DIRECTLY over head and so that the scale on the ruler can be seen.

ok thanks,i'll try and get a couple of better pictures tommorow,thanks alot.

I've used that program before, and it is really hard to get a truly overhead shot...especially if you have a wiggly-wanna-see-the-world kinda snake!

You could'nt be more right,my male will constantly wriggle,my female is slugish and not so fast.

Anyway i tried my best to take a better picture but its not that easy and my camera is'nt the best so i cant take a close picture,but the ruler is 30cm.

I'm getting this following:

#1 at 33.95 inches

#2 at 38.89 inches

Assuming that's a standard 12 inch ruler of course.

I have a lot of problems with wierd measurements with that program sometimes so usually take 3 pics and average it then check it against the old run a string along their spine and then measure the string method (yes I know...I'm "Monk-ish" :P )
