Again, easier said than done with a large snake that is writhing/twisting in the grasp of 10 men while another person is trying to keep the string in place. You would have to keep the string on the same plane the entire length of the snake (Ex: the spine) for the most accurate measurement, or you will definitely be off by more than a "couple inches."

I've tried doing this very thing with an 8-ft BCI, and its difficult. I had 2 other people helping me. Your use of the word "easy" for the task of measuring a snake 20+ ft long is subjective. I'm not saying its impossible, though.
