I may be low...but my main concern was the thought of you thinking there was such thing as a 7 foot Floridana....
I used to have a 69 inch male hypo Floridana.....Never weighed him though.....

Years ago at beginning of the "reptile show" era, a guy from Columbus, Ohio had a 7' male brooksi that was as big around as a soup can. When I first saw the snake I thought it was a python. I'm not saying they are common, but I have seen it with my own eyes.

That was a big bruiser!. What was the exact length, do you know?
"Cleo" must have been a definite male then, correct?
Man, 5.5 lbs. is unreal!, but then again, it certainly looks it too...LOL!

This 59 inch '07 male is 1150 grams(just over 2.5 pounds), so he's still got some good growing to do, so it could easily get up to around 3 to 3 1/2 pounds. considering this one is 2.5 pounds, a 6 footer at 3.5 pounds is BIG by anyones standards, that's all there is to it.
6 ft. to just over 6 ft. is a monster, but 7 foot?,..I'd have to see it next to a tape measure to even begin to believe it as fact.
