Maybe this post has come up before, but I was just wondering how big everyones' biggest adult breeders are? I've heard these are not big snakes, usually topping out around 3'. Is this correct?

Around 3' is about right. I'm sure there are a few 4 footers out there, and I used to have a older adult female that was under 3 feet. I think 36" to 42" is about the norm.

Of all the ones I have seen, most adults are in the 32 to 38 inch size range. The largest I have seen was a sister of my oldest male that my friend had bought. She was 42 inches, a true monster of a Thayeri that never bred for him.

Thanks, guys. These are beautiful snakes, and I'd like to get a pair in the near future. It seems like most of the ones I see are either babies or yearlings. Don't think I've ever seen a full grown adult @ a show or a shop.
