Pajamas...when did you get so big?!

iBaman · 01-08-13, 10:10 PM

Used serpwidgets to measure pajamas today...and He's 9ft!!!! Last I measured him (about 3 or so months ago), he was only 6 ft!!

I'm in awe of how fast these guys get big! <3

The pic used to measure

^-^

I want one.

Your estimate might be skewed a bit, I use the same program and have had experience getting wildly different numbers if parts of the animal are raised higher then other parts. I would take another shot of him to try with his completely flat.

He is stunning!

I would guess he is close to 8ft.. Assuming that is a 5ft tub.

That's what I was thinking too...as soon as he sheds, I'll get a more accurate one. Either way, he's still a big boy!

Yeah, it's a 5ft tub. 24" across the middle part, so we used that as our reference point. I want to try this again with a better picture and reference point to see what I get. ^-^

I get readings varying between 1-3 feet with that program even if the shot is off by a little and I use a measuring tape place beside them in frame for reference its frustrating and I gave up using it.

good to know. with another pic i used, it said he was 11 ft xD and i was like 'umm....no." 9 ft was more believable. so we'll say the 8-9ft range =]

lol i love his name. I named my monitor pajaaamas with three a's because I hate when people pronounce it (pa-ja-mas), I am southern and we draw out the "A". When I got him he had a yellow mark on his tail the breeder used to identify the one i wanted and when i first got him home he escaped out of the crate and climbed up the stairs and all i could think of was "bananas, in pajamas, they're coming down the stairs".

AHHHH!!! Great minds MUST think alike!! We named ours pajamas because he's yellow and has white striping!! Bananas in Pajamas! (I live in Utah, so we all pronounce it correctly). Hahahahahahahhahahaha, i'm dying now xD

i need to put pajaaamas in those blue stripped pajamas from that kids show. Holy god that would be sweet. I may just draw it as I dont want to mess with him like that

iBaman · 01-09-13, 07:36 PM

hahaha, maybe once you get him trusting you, you could do it...i want to see it so bad!

I use to good old fashion string method. Get a long length of string and start at the tip of the tail and make your way up to the head. Easiest when they are in a calm mood or when you have someone to help you... lol...

Rogue628 · 01-13-13, 10:53 PM

The best way I've been able to measure if letting them slither against a wall or even on the bed when they were smaller.

Don't ever get one out just to measure. You can have the most docile animal ever until you decide you want to get a length on them, then they decide they want to do everything BUT move in a straight line or stay still. I try to measure mine when they've been out exploring for a while and wind down some of that energy. With some of mine, it takes a while. lol

Instead of using a string, sometimes it's easier to use one a measuring tape that's used for sewing and body measurements. I always either drop the string or lose my place and find the flexible sewing measuring tape works better for me.

Pajamas is the bomb! He is a very good looking retic. Bet you're proud to have him. I would be.
