On Tuesday I bought my first ever snake, a Florida Kingsnake and I found this forum. I haven't posted till now but the advice you guys give on here is great.
If any of you have any advice for me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks :)

I haven't measured her yet, but she shed the other day so measured the skin, and took off 10% (advice to someone else on here due to the skin stretching) and she's 15inches long. Is that good for a four month old?
Thanks for making me feel so welcome :)

I never bother measuring any of my snakes, I only record their weights which is much easier and more useful to record their growth.

I haven't handled her much as I only got her a few days ago and we're both new to each other. But I'll be weighing her in her RUB tomorrow and put it on here so you guys can tell me how she is.
