Hey, question..

Whats the best way to measure a large snake? Or how do you guys measure them? My RTBs and boas move a lot, so its hard to get a good measurement on them.. and I don't know how accurate measuring their sheds can be.

Let me know!

I just stretch out the shed without breaking it then measure....but then again I don't have giant RTB's;)

Measuring the sheds is not an accurate way because the sheds a always a lot bigger than the snake. your best bet is to get a friend and have him help you hold the snake and use string to measure him. hope this helps.

I noticed that the sheds are much larger than the snakes.. I have one RTB that just shed and had a 10' shed! And shes probably more close to being about 8' long :) I'll try the string idea out soon, thanks!

haha i have seen people use string and a lil bit of painters tape when its just them...
tape holds the string so you get a more acurate measure =]

good idea.
