Hey everyone, just joined the forum as I just bought my first snake, he's called Ghost and ill get a picture up shortly!
Before that I got a few questions..
When people put 1.0.0 snake etc. On their signatures, what does that mean?
Secondly, what's the best way to weigh and measure the lengths of a snake,?
Thanks for your time |

some people have used this site to measure their snake: http://serpwidgets.com/main/measure, though for some reason my computer dosn't seem to work with the site! i measure the shed and deduct 10% to give me a rough idea of thier lenghts |

Use a length of string and run both snake and string through your hands. Then measure string.
Now why didn't i think of that?!?
If you dont have string use a tailors tape measure, thats what i do.
Also the skin they shed stretches when they shed it therefore is not a true measurement. |

Welcome to the site!!
As for measuring.... Struggle like hello trying to get snakey straight as you can whilst measuring! I dont actually weigh or measure. I can see from his sheds how much he is growing |

use digital scales, weigh her in a tub then take the weight of the tub off, or zero the scales with the tub on
You sure about that 
I thought it was say 2.3.1 corn snakes
The 2 is number of males
The 3 is number of FEMALES 
An the 1 is number of unsexed
