So, if I know that this Pringle's can is 10.5" long, can someone help me figure out how long my new ball python is?!

BTW, he's a yearling male, normal color (has pastel siblings.) I was told he weighs about 500gr.

It will be diffcult to be precise from that photo. I'd be guessing at about 3 times the length of the can.

I may have to use a piece of string! Well, I DO have a fabric tape measure, but will probably need another set of hands.

I've not worked out a good way to measure our garters, they dont keep still for long enough so Ive been guessing based on the known dimensions of the viv. I'd be tempted to try the piece of string.

Jesse had a web site he used to measure his, you just ned a picture and an object of know size. Like you have above. Maybe you could PM him for the details.

I tried to use Serpwidgets, but when I uploaded my picture, it says my browser does not support canvas drawings!

Bummer. My guess would be 4 maybe 5 prigles cans long.

Take that same picture only from above and use this. Works great. Easy to use. Gets perfect measurements.

I found that site and tried it last night. It says my browser doesn't support canvas drawings??? Any known problems with IE8?

"Browser?" The snake measurer is an executable file. Once you download and install it, you shouldn't have to worry about your browser.

Wait. My mistake. The page linked is for a browser widget. However, there is an executable version of the snake measurer available, I'm pretty sure. It's what I used to measure Little Dude (she's up to 32 inches at last measure).

I ran the pic for you, and it looks like 2 feet 9.63 inches, or 33.63 inches.

As for your browser, the page says it works with IE9. Maybe upgrade? I used Firefox 7 with no problem.

Not the one they're talking about.
The one I have is the one you're talking.
It's one an old computer. I'll try to find it.

I located the one I have. It's in a zip file.
If anyone would like it just PM me your email and I'll send it off.

Thanks! I was told he was about 3.5 feet, now I have a closer estimate. You wouldn't believe the size of rats he eats. Eeeeewwwww!
