I've always heard Okeetees are the largest.

the largest i've heard of is an okeetee, but I'm not sure it's true of "all" okeetees. Either way, you won't likely find a particular "morph" or "breed" of corn that are "always" more than 5 feet, other than the few exceptionally big ones (Marcel's! lol) I'm not sure, but I think kings get bigger than corns? Maybe rats do too but I've never looked into ratsnakes at all. but there are a lot of other kinds of snakes, that are similar to corns, that get bigger than corns.

Or you could always go up to a red tail boa or yellow anaconda? LOL

Yes, most of the other North American Ratsnakes do get bigger than corns. I say "other" because cornsnakes are, in fact, ratsnakes. I have corns, black rats, a "greenish" (black X yellow intergrade) and a Texas Rat. The other ratsnakes are very similar to corns in terms of care, and can now be found in some very nice morphs.
As for corn size, I would say that if you want a BIG corn, your best bet is to find a breeder who has BIG breeding stock. That would probably give you a higher chance of a large animal than any particular color morph. If, as some have said, the okeetee tends to be larger...then find a breeder with a BIG pair of those. If it's size you are looking for, I would look into some of the other ratsnakes, though. They are really great.
Good luck. Duffy
