Well, just recently Pendulum has shot up quite a nice amount in size, putting on steady weight thanks to switching from rats to mice, and last night he shed, I was just wondering if someone could refresh my memory on the accuracy of measuring their shed?
I'm almost certain it was their skin is 1inch longer per foot of snake...
But I might be wrong.

He's not absolutely tiny, but yeah he doesn't stop moving.
Taking pictures the other day, I nearly lost him 4-5 times on the bed
He is defintiely impossible to measure himself lol

Simple, quick and easy. A couple of people have mentioned odd readings from it, but my own experience I'd say it's pretty accurate.

I'll try that instead Mort, the other way looks a bit too hard to get right, in a way...
