Shipping Help!

Hi everyone!
Does anybody know the external Dimensions of a 8x8x7 shipping box?
Im going to be shipping a ball python for the first time tomorrow and i want to book the shippment on SYR but its asking me for the dimensions of the box and im not sure. I was reading the instructions on the SYR site and it says that FedEx measures the external dimensions of the box, and the dimensions printed on the box are the inner dimensions so im guessing that i have to measure the outside of the box.

So how you guys do this part?
Do you measure the outside of the box or you just put the dimensions printed on the shipping box?

i hope you can help me!
this is the first time im shipping and im really stressed lol

Just measure the box.

I did measure the box and its bigger for like a 1/4" each side
i dont think im allowed to put decimals on the site

Just round up to the nearest inch. It won't change the price at that size.
