It seems kind of difficult to find an accurate record length for these snakes, and even northern emoryi. Dixon and Werler have the record length as 72 inches (182.9 cm) for e.emoryi, e.meahllmorum and g.slowinskii! This seems to be an old guttata record as well, that they did not bother changing (or getting new lengths/research), even though they consider guttata and emoryi to be different species. Roger Conant had the record at 57 inches for E.g. emoryi, and E.g. guttata at 72 inches, back in 1958.
