How can i measure my corn snake?

Question

he just did a perfect shed. can i get an accurate measurment off of the skin?

Answer 1

Nope his skin is longer than he is. Put him on a bed have him crawl, put a ruler next to him and VOILA!

Answer 2

No, a shedded skin has been stretched and is longer than the actual snake. Here's a link to a program that measures snakes using a photograph. I know several people who says it's a very cool program, but I can never get it to download on my computer for some reason.

The other method is taking a piece of string and start at the snake's nose and go down the backbone, then measure the string.

Answer 3

use a piece of string, then measure the string,or get him wet, and carefully lightly press and lay him on papper and pick up, then measure the wet snake outline on papper

Answer 4

a ruler or take it to the vet and they could proubly do it for you

Answer 5

ruler? lol i try but it wont go striaght so i estimated really super close to 2 feet i guess u could take it to the vet but y the h**l would u pay someone to tell u how big ur snake is i dont think the skin would be that accurate i mean it shed from length and width so it means its bigger already i still say put it up to a ruler and round it off sometimes knowing the age will help

good luck hope i sorta kinda helped ;)
