Don't laugh, but I cannot for the life of me measure of weigh my corn snakes.
Granted I only tried placing her in a container and putting her on the electric scales. It was hard to read it cause she wouldn't stop trying to get out.
and as for measuring, I have a guess of how long she is but she doesn't lay straight at any time lol!

Thanks guys, and again, don't laugh! :)

I weigh Barnaby in his feeding tub, before I give him his mouse obviously, every week. I use a piece of string to measure him e dry couple of months. It's not exact but it gives me an idea of how much he has grown.

I had to put one of mine in a pillowcase for weighing last time. I couldnt find the lid for the plastic box and ond of them was just being plain awkward about it!

That snake measurer is a brilliant idea, unfortunately I dont have internet on my PC at home, i come to library for the forum haha

I'll give it a go with a piece of string when i get home though :D

do a forum search for snake measurer. Brilliant and simple bit of software.

(Y) Cheers :)
Maybe i'm just too impatient lol

Any ideas on how to measure them?

It will change... but when your snake settles it will sit on a specific weight.

Cheers, I'll give it another go with a lid on this time.
I hate trying to make them do things they dont want to do lol!
The reading on the scales just kept changing last time.

Not laughing. I use a tub with a lid for weighing.

Zero the scales with the tub and lid on. Add snake and read weight. Simple.
