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! :) |

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.

The reading on the scales just kept changing last time. |

| 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. |
