    Re: How to measure a snake?

    I use the snake measurer software as well and it works great.

    I'd not recommend using the shed skin as a measure, the shed stretches when it comes off the snake and can be quite a bit longer than the actual length

    Hi,

    Well in BP's that's rarely more than 3 inches or so different than snout to tail tip.
