    Re: weight and length

    yeah.... she's about 28-29" but she is SO thin that her skin doesn't even need to expand when she eats

    Re: weight and length

    I dunno... lol... Sly's about 26" but then again he's never had babies

    I'm guessing her skin is loose and wrinkly on her? Poor girl...

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    Re: weight and length

    checkers shed today and i measured the skin at 25.5" which means i must have gotten a bad measurement from george so george must be around 27" cuz she is quite larger than checkers

    but luckily george looks like she isd gonna shed soon too her belly is starting to get bluish so im guessing her eyes will start in maybe the next 2 days and then problably shed by next friday so i can get a good measurement then

    Remember that the skin stretches when they shed.

    Re: weight and length

    I'm not sure, but I think it stretches at least like 15% if not more.

    Re: weight and length

    The only snake I really measure for size is Fatty.
    She was 21" in Mid June and now she's 24", possibly more.
    And she's staring at me from above the computer. XD

    Re: weight and length

    I never measure lengths on my snakes... I guess I don't really care. But I weigh in grams once or twice a week in OCD fashion.
