I would agree that the snake in question is a male. That seems really, really huge for a female, especially considering the male's reaction when introduced.



With that said, my male is only about 3-4 years old and is around 6'. I suspect he could very well top out upwards of 7 feet.

>>I have heard anecdotal accounts that the longest "yellow rat" is now up to 7'9". A local pet shop in Melbourne, FL had a very large one for several years. I believe that snake measured 90" when it passed away. Are you sure your snake is a female? I have never heard of a female in excess of 7 feet.
