Two happy snaps of my spotted python...

Hey all,

My spotted is growing quite rapidly now, she's around 93cm long. Measured with the string method. Not too accurate as she doesn't stay still long enough.

Do you use other methods for measuring?

Anyway, she has grown around 30 or 40cm in 6 months!!! All that growing must be quite painful!

I would like to get an accurate measurement of her... But I am quite happy to know that she's growing and seems very healthy

Comments are welcome... I absolutely love her to bits!

She's a cutie!

Hi slim6y. Here's the link for the snake measurer.
http://www.serpwidgets.com/Apps/measure.html
I got it off Korbin yesterday, easy to use, i think its more accurate than trying to use a measuring tape, takes all of about 15 seconds to be up and running

I got the link yesterday and downloaded it, did a virus check twice through the computer, once before i used it and once after and came up clean. Should be good to go, my computer is still working today


Lucky my work pays for my virus updates all the time

Yeah much the sameas stary. mine likes to slither against the glass of the enclosure so measure when it is almost flat against it. Had a look at the program and is good except I don't have camera. Might have to right that situation when I get some money

HAHA!

Stary, i don't have the luxury of having Peyote stay still long enough to get a pen to mark the ends of her... She's a mover and a groover...

Second question tho... Are snakes measured like lizards? SVL? Or are they head to tail?

I guess the program does head to tail.. i am going to investigate later...

Thanks everyone for your replies. I just can't get over how much she's grown!
