World Record Bull?

Thought some of you might enjoy a plain old run of the mill American original. Bazooka Joe, caught by my friend A. Meier, c. 2000. 122 inch STL, male.

Cheers,
Bryan

122 inches? That wouldn't just be a record for Bullsnakes - that would be the North American record for all snakes. The offical wild caught is 103 1/2 inches, held by the Eastern Indigo. Question is, how long was that Bull it when captured.

Sorry, small typing error: He's 112" i.e., 9 feet 4 inches not 122 (wishful thinking, I guess). B

Thanks for the clarification. That still significantly exceeds the North American WC record, and is a full foot longer than the record WC Bull. There is a good chance you have the longest captive North American snake.

Please - how long was he when caught?

Thanks Again,
