The largest specimen that has been reported is the Ivory Coast female from 1932 that was said to have been taped at 32 ft 2 in. However, there is some doubt as to the authenticity of that record. I have a feeling that the measurement was taken from a fresh skin. Large sebae typically run 15 to 20 feet with anything over 20 feet considered very exceptional. From everything I have read over the last 30 years, I would put the record at more like 25 to 27 feet.
