to measure it you can use snakemeasurer if u have a way to get a pic on ur computer. just have to include something for size reference in the pic

When I weigh my snake on my fairly small digital scale, I put her in a lidded sterilite shoebox. First, I put the shoebox on the scale, tare it(equal it to zero), and then put her in the shoebox and weigh.


When measuring, I take an aerial picture of her and also place a Sharpie Marker or small ruler next to her. Then, you can use the Snake Measurer program we have on this site. You first measure the item that you know how long it is. Then you start measuring the snake down its spine. Pretty simple program, really and very useful for those wiggly snakes

when i way my snakes i put the tupperware i weigh them in on the scale and press "tare" which puts the weight down to zero while the tupperwares on it. if your scale doesnt give you the "tare" option you could put the tupperwair on the scale and turn it
on and it will still end up saying zero. then put the snakes in the tupperwair and it will weigh them accurately.


for measuring you could use the snake measurer software on here. its pretty cool

hope that didnt confuse you

Same here - if you don't have a tare function just subtract the known weight of the container.
