that I have given you a link to, they max out about 36 inches. BTW, this chart is really good to keep on your favorites tab. It gives you pix and sizes of the snakes.

They sound like they are big enough to easily breed next spring,my breeders are about that size.They probably won't get a whole lot bigger,I haven't seen very many that could really eat full grown adult mice.Mine can eat hoppers,but they seem to prefer 2 or 3 large fuzzies instead.They average around 5 eggs,with a 45-55 day incubation period.The hatchlings are tiny,but they can eat newborn pinkies,some of them may require lizard scenting at first.It helps to breed your own mice,so you can get the pinkies as soon after birth as possible,if they are a day old,they are probably too big.I hatched a clutch of 5 this year,2 took unscented pinkies,1 took a pinky scented with Lizard Maker,and the other 2 held out for skink scented.
