I've always heard that the normal top end for a fully mature, healthy and well fed rat snake is right around 6 feet. I know there are reports and even photos of larger animals, but I'd say a safe bet for anyone planning on keeping a rat snake long term is to anticipate an eventual length of 4.5 to 5.5 feet max. For bullsnake keepers, add a foot.
