Judging from talking to people and my own (not very scientific) I think about 15-18' for males. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks,

I wouldnt say thats the average, I give the average male more like 12-15', 18' being a very large male.

I'd say males average between 13 and 15 feet. However, some do have the capability of attaining lengths of 18 feet or more. Usually, however, in captivity you'll see mostly females of that size. Just curious, what type of burm are you going to get?
