Posting a link on GoComics

You still have to copy and paste it yourself, but, at least, you have a working link afterward!

Hmphf! Our pin is better...



OK, so... it's hard to compete with Snoopy, but we happen to believe that our GoCreator pin beats the pins being offered by the National Cartoonist Society hands down. Plus, our pin is free to our new GoCreator members. Take that, NCS!

Update: We proudly welcome a handful of new GoCreator members, among them: Michael Cavna (Warped), John McPherson (Close to Home) and Wiley Miller (Non Sequitur).

Snout-vent length

Snout–vent length (SVL) is a morphometric measurement taken in herpetology from the tip of the snout to the most posterior opening of the cloacal slit (vent). It is the most common measurement taken in herpetology, being used for all amphibians, lepidosaurs, and crocodilians (for turtles, carapace length (CL) and plastral length (PL) are used instead). The SVL differs depending on whether the animal is struggling or relaxed (if alive), or various other factors if it is a preserved specimen. For fossils, an osteological correlate such as precaudal length must be used. When combined with weight and body condition, SVL can help deduce age and sex. 

Because tails are often missing or absent, especially in juveniles, SVL is seen as more invariant than total length. Even in the case of crocodiles, tail tips may be missing.

The measurements may be taken with dial calipers or digital calipers.

Various devices are used to position the animal while the measurement is being taken, such as a snake tube, "Mander Masher", or a "Salamander Stick".
