Measuring the shed of a snake is not an indicator of the actual length of the snake. The shed stretches as much as 35% on removal so your snake could be as short as 35 inches.
Try using a string worked down/along the body as the snake slithers through your grip if you really want an accurate measurement.
Nice pics though.

Alright, but just holding her up I can tell you she is at least in the middle 40's of inches. When I measured the shed I left slack in it and didn't stretch it tight because of the factor you mentioned.
