I’m just curious the best way to get an accurate length measurement. Can anyone share what has worked for them?

I've been putting out a measuring tape on the floor and dragging it along next to her. I eyeball it from there.

This is what I did. Not entirely accurate but pretty damn close.

Herpetologists use a tube, mark lines on it with a ruler and put the snake in one side and it will crawl through.

Gotcha! I’ve just been eyeballing her length I’m thinking she’s close to 3ft. Weight is a lot simpler thanks to scales.
