It got warm enough to take her outside for a couple of quick pics then straight back in again

Thanks for looking :)

Such a gorgeous girl, got a nice size to her too now! It has been no where near warm enough to take any of my snakes out here, would be nice to take a few pictures of my retics outside :)

Thank you she's coming along nicely I think, she's our first retic so we're still finding our way with her. Although I must say she's making it pretty easy she's no hassle apart from trying to get wreck the house when we have her out :D

Jenny's looking as lovely as ever Dave.

She does look great; in both color and body condition. About how big do you figure she is now?

Thank you and to be honest I wouldn't have a clue what size she is

She's not trying to wreck the house, she's just expressing herself, lol. Unlike cichlids that actively rearrange their environment (pile gravel or sand up against the front glass, uproot plastic plants, eat live ones etc.) she's not deliberately rebelling against your housing arrangement idea/s.
As for the actual size of your beauiful girl, this might help: Serpwidgets - Snake Measurer (http://serpwidgets.com/main/measure)

:D I know it's not deliberately but her and Lisa have there own little war going on and it seems to keep both human and snake fit and healthy. So I see no point in telling Lisa this fact just yet ;), and I couldn't get snake measurer thing to work for me so could we just say 10ft or does anybody think that's to much?

She seems to be around the size of a adult dwarf now.. I don't know how tall you are.. But she looks to be twice your length with then still some left over, so at least twice your hight seems a fair estimate. Going by comparison of current retics i own... She seems to be around the size of my Selayar male, he is 13ft.... Xena is noticeably smaller both in girth and in length, she is around 11ft.. So unless the girth-length ratio of Jenny is much different. I'd say she'd be around 13ft as well..

I'm around 5ft and half feet if that helps lol. The reason I said 10ft was she's in a 8ft viv and I know she's longer than that, so I thought if I say 10 then no can say I'm telling lies about her size :)

Well measure her haha, all i can do is guesstimate :D

Well now there's an idea :D :D. I suppose I'll have to now but I'm guessing she's no more than 11ft ;)

The easiest way to physically measure a snake is with a piece of string. Just start at one end and lay it out along the middle of the spine to the other end, then measure the string. That way the normal curves and bends don't throw off the measurement.

Why didn't I know of this earlier. Trying to get a snake to straighten out beside a measuring tape and stay in the right direction is quite the task.

I know how to measure her :) it's just i keep forgetting :D because it's not that high on my priority list. We just don't get hung up on what size she is or any of our other snakes are, as long as they're fit and healthy we're happy. If that came across as cheeky it really wasn't ment to ;), if you ever meet me I'm one of the most laid back people ever

With smaller snakes it's somewhat possible so it's like herding kittens. But for your big girl would be impossible.
