Eastern chain kings from the southern part of their range average a much larger size. Also some of the Florida kings. Of course the largest king I know of (technically) was in Vivarium magazine several years ago. they had a photo of an eight foot Honduran (King) milksnake. However, the average size is much smaller...Frank

Eastern Kings 5-7 feet
Florida (and Brooksi) Kings 5-7 feet

these kings are not only longer than most of the more western kings, they are also considerably heavier bodied.

Other big Lampropeltis
Black Milksnakes 5-7 feet
Andean Milksnakes 5-7 feet
