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
