I have over 20 adult San Diego Gophers , most of mine average around 4 feet long but I have had a couple 5 footers and even a couple 3 footers as adults .

Take care

I would not breed them and create more mutts.

Wouldn't you like to be able to look at your gopher(s) and know that what you are looking at is 0 gopher?

Actually, your question really can't be answered as good as it could have if those who read your question knew that the snake(s) is a hybrid. If what you are saying is true, then Lord knows how big or long the snake or snakes will get.

We could recommend great breeders that produce both pure gophers AND corns. That way you have the best of both worlds in two beautiful and pure snakes.

Take care!

I PERSONALLY CAUGHT A 6FOOT 4 INCH GOPHER A COUPLE YEARS BACK IT WAS CAUGHT IN SANTEE. A CITY IN SANDIEGO. THIS SNAKE WAS UNDER A STEEL TRASH CAN LID IT WAS COILED UP UNDER IT . THE CRAZY THING IS THAT IT WAS TAME AS A ROSY BOA. THIS THING WOULD EAT LIVE DOVE (BIRD) NO PROBLEM . AFTER A YEAR OR SO I RELEASED IT BACK TO THE WILD ,JUST AS SOON AS I LET IT GO I WANTED HIM BACK ,ANY WAY THEY DO GET HUGE I HAVE CAUGHT 100S OF GOPHERS AND NONE COMPARE TO THIS ONES SIZE. GOOD LUCK ,JASON
