I've never heard of nor read about Missouri Prairie Kingsnakes, but Prairies usually reach around 30 to 50 inches in length.

I've got a few prairie kings and oneof them is a MO locality. Like the other response said. Four feet is a maximum and rare at that. Usually they max out around 3' to 3 1/2'. They do get awfully stout though. They are a REALLY slow growing snake also. I'm afraid to breed them until they are four years old.
