>>Terry, I measured him back in early July, using the serp widgets snake measurer program, at 59.94 inches. He was 1048 g at the time, and now 1116 g. I'll try for another measurement soon.

Toby, he's around the largest for Great Plains rats, 150 cm. According to Schulz ('96) there is a record at 180 cm for GPR's. I don't know of any voucher speciman at that length, however, and I'm thinking that might have been a "guttata" record, or a corn snake. I bet you could get a record length from your area, eventually. Your male's almost there already. If you've seen one at 5.5 ft., that's about 165 cm, that's a really big GPR. Good luck on that, and let us know if you get any new records. Thanks...

Terry
