<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

So my baby flame brooks kingsnake, Nusku (Babylonian god of fire and light) shed today and as some of you may know, it is awfully hard to measure the exact length of a snake. They don't want to stretch out all the way and they tend to wander and squirm. So I figured I would just measure the shed to get a close estimate of the length, I reach for the measuring tape I keep in my room and its not anywhere in sight. I look everywhere and I still can't find it. But it is one thing that always seem to be in the way when I try to set my laptop down on my desk, book on tv stand, cup on windowsill, and etc.
<bot>: I can't get away from my measuring tape when I don't need it but when I do need it, I can't find it. Still can't find the damn thing.
