Just used snake measuring software to measure my adults, they were both shorter, than I expected! I guessed Char at 4ft and Venom at 5ft5. Char is actually 3ft8 and Venom is 5ft1. Just goes to show that trying to measuring your snakes based on their tank viv messes things up *_*



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3

Well no proper way, my guessing were guesses. I took all the stuff out the viv, measured the viv and then guessed a measurement when the touching were touching the front and sides of the viv. Venoms guess was also based on me having him out on my bed and me lying next to him and my boyfriend said he was longer than me or about the same size of 5ft2 although in his viv he really does look longer.

To measure them I used http://www.serpwidgets.com/Apps/apps.html and I took two photos of each of them just to make sure. I used a 15cm ruler as reference (although if you actually measure the whole ruler it's actually 16cm) My guess on my little red hatching was right though although I thought he would be shorter. I guessed 33cm and he is about 33/34cm.

I guess the thickness of the wood of the viv kinda messed up my guess and I guess Venom's fatness also made me guess longer. Although it does kinda make me feel happy I guess that I'm actually longer than him.
