What is the best way to measure these guys?? My guys do not take to measuring at all and was wondering if there is a simple way to do it that is not stressful?? Any suggestions would be helpful.

The best way ive found is by using probing tubes. Just let the snake crawl through it and measure the snake while its in the tube.

Do a search on the web, or post in the general snake forum for a "snake measure program". This allows you to simply take a photograph of the snake and get a relatively accurate measurement on the computer.

Thanks, found the SnakeMeasuring shareware online. Will try it tomorrow to see how well it works.

Thanks so much for the tip. That was so easy and so stress free for my Hoggies. I know they appreciate it also.
