Depends on how much Miller Lite you keep feeding him. Seriously though, in my experience, he's about avg. right now for an adult male. I gues it's possible to throw another foot on there but with a conservative feeding schedule, he might be done.

OK. just askin cuz he still sheds like once every 35to 40 days.

That's about as big as my male got. I had him for a number of
years. I remember he always had really long shed cycles. He
wouldn't eat during breeding season either.

I've seen some humongous Dumerils though. It must depend on the
parents or lineage. There is a nice pic of a really big one in
one of those boa manuals.
