But I too have a difficult time believing someone can produce a Boiga cynodon in excess of 400cm, as the largest specimen I am aware of is 320cm (a hair over 10.5’), and considered to be a MONSTER as the species rarely grows over 275cm, and I am aware of Spilotes pullatus and D. corais here in the US of that size, and larger.
There are a few Zaocys dhumnades floating around in the US and they certainly harbor the potential to grow greater then 320cm, quite easily I might add.
As for Ptyas carinata, the largest representative of the species, I am aware of, is a 412cm monster residing within a university collection in Thailand and I know of a Ptyas mucosaresiding within a private European collection at just under 400cm.
However, it's only fitting that Boiga cynodon be brought up on this forum, as the species was first described by Boie, the same man credited for first describing D. couperi…

Best regards,

Jeff
