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 |
1.0.0 "Ghost" a 7 month old Snow corn, acquired 23/05/12. |

1.0.0 means male, 0.1.0 means female, 0.0.1 means sex unknown.
use digital scales, weigh her in a tub then take the weight of the tub off, or zero the scales with the tub on |

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. |
