A poignant visual lesson on why we do not measure our snakes via sloughed skins. Awesome photography.

Thanks Don,....you're absolutely right about the "don't measure by the shed" analogy. Many an anaconda, python and countless other snakes are falsely represented by this method, as well as "over-stretched" actual hides to document lengths. Many people are unaware of the stretching dynamics a hide, or a shed skin has. On a large snake, it can add many extra feet to an animal's length.

By the way, this is the snake that was photographed shedding.

Again, thanks for the compliment!

best regards, ~Doug
