Did she shrink?!?

My snake just shed, and I compared this shed with her last shed (to see how much she's grown)... But, it's smaller! Did she shrink?? Or is it normal (like, it didn't stretch as much this time or something...)

I could swear she's grown, but... Apparently not?
 
Judging size by sheds arew very innacurate; as the stretch in each shed can vary quite a lot. Rest assured, as long as sheshealthy and eating she's growing, and by shedding it proved shes outgrown her previous skin.
 
Haha thanks, I knew it was a ridiculous notion that she shrank, but I thought I'd ask anyhow, haha.
 
Actually, it's not quite that ridiculous. It would be ridiculous for a normal healthy snake to shrink, but I had one that had regurge problems for a while. When I measured her after about two months of her health issues, she seemed to have shrunk by an entire inch! I measured her three times, thinking I'd made a mistake, but I came up with the same thing every time.

However, since yours is shedding and feeding normally, I wouldn't expect it to have shrunk.
