Andrew,
I have read in the past of two reliable reports, supposedly carefully taped in the field by experienced persons, that show large maximum sizes for P. natalensis. One specimen was reported at 16 feet 6 inches and the other, which is considered the record, was reported at 18 feet 4 inches. I don't believe they were mis-identified, as P. natalensis is easily distinguished from P. sebae by the much smaller head scalation and the lack of the large, dark pre-ocular area. Have you heard of these before, and if so, do you have any information on their reliability? Thanks,
Kelly
