As an average I'd have to say 1.5m give or take.

I hear between 4.5' & 5' is what they max out at. There's an interesting post on FHF about the biggest annectens & deserticola people had found in the field. A couple of folks posted pics of what looked like 6 footers, and a few folks. The calherps site lists them @ getting to be 6-7'. I'd like to see a pic of a 7 footer. I believe the SUGGESTED minimum for average sized (4-5' snakes) is a 20 Long.
