measuring the shed is a common mistake and I'm sure there's a hundred people doing it right now. No need to apologize for doing something that most of us here have done before.

If you're looking to measure a snake, one easy way is to place it in a large sterilite container and watch it for a while. Often, the snake will stretch out along the edge while exploring it's new environment. You can mark the position of the tail when the snake's nose gets to a corner and measuring from the mark to that corner will give you about as accurate a measurement as you can hope for when dealing with a live snake.
