>>Anyone have concrete facts about how long a female florida king and a female black mexican king will get in length? My local pet store says 7' for the florida and 6' for the black mexican i have not found any site saying 7' for the florida and i have only found about 5' for the black mexican any help?

The largest kingsnake on record is one from Georgia that was 82". The largest Florida King I've ever seen are large, but not larger than Eastern Kings.

I hear stories all the time. "They have 8' milsnakes in Central America," "My Eastern is almost 7'". Or like one poster says on here, he has a 2.7 year old Eastern that's close to 6' (which is bull).

Think of snakes like people - every now and again you get a Shaquille Oneal of a specimen, but usually you get around the norm and no matter how much you feed them, they will never get to even 6'.
