I don't know what the record is, but I know someone with one just over 5 feet measured by the tape.
I don't think I've ever seen one that big in the wild, I think the 3 to 4 feet is typical adult in the wild, I think they usually get over 4 feet in captivity when properly fed, and I don't think over 5 feet in captivity is rare.
I've never seen a 6 footer though. Doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
