Female Black Ratsnakes do not commonly max out at or above 6 feet, but is does happen occasionally. Five feet seems more or less average for Black Ratsnake females in general. However, maximum size is a geographical variable trait, with snakes from southern populations generally attaining larger sizes than snakes from northern populations. This goes for many North American colubrids, not just Black ratsnakes.
