Re: It's The Shed thread.......
Seems the place to put this... A shed (legally obtained) from the worlds rarest reptile.. close to extinction.

Re: It's The Shed thread.......
I see the tape measure beside the shed FYI for those that do not know out there (not saying you do not know) a shed is not an accurrate measurement of a snakes length as they are always longer sometimes by 1/3 or more. Cheers Mark

Definitely something that should be reminded regularly, as I see the mistake made all the time. But yes I was aware, she measures in somewhere near 7'. That shed measured 8'4". Anybody that has ever tried to measure a Carpet, or other active species for that matter, will know why I say "somewhere near"...

Didnt realise it could be as much as a third - had previously heard 10-15%. Never tried measuring any of my snakes i tend to go by the shed length minus 15%.

That's funny, 8'4" - 15% = 7'
Sounds like I may be right on the money

Re: It's The Shed thread.......
Snake skin is very elastic when fresh, therefore it is impossible to quantify how far your shed may be off from the acutal length of your snake. The snake will stretch it out during the shedding process and we stretch it out during unrolling/handling.

Re: It's The Shed thread.......
I think how much they soaked prior may help the stretch factor as well LOL Cheers Mark
