Snake measuring tool

landonSjohnson Apr 17, 2008 09:57 PM

Hi folks,

Sometime back, there was a little software program floating around that you could use, with a photograph, to measure a snake. You took a picture of the snake near a ruler, and you drew a line down the snake's back with the mouse, and it told you how long your snake is.

Anyone remember this/have a copy (it was free) or know where I can find it?

Thanks,

Landon

Dear Landon, I am fairly sure I saw that discussed on the kingsnake forum a year or more ago, you might want to check the archives or even post the same message with that active group. To measure snakes, I let them crawl against a wall, sometimes with a 2x4 laid next to it. I make a tiny pencil mark at the head and tail tip, a fairly accurate measurement, easier with boids than Drys... vic
