The largest one I ever saw was back in about 1976. And I am still sure it would have gone 8ft. easy. It was absulutley gorgiuos, freshly shed specimen, with a red chain pattern visible between the scales, and a few white speckels. I would like to have captured, measured, and recorded it, but my father was driving, he was terrified, and would have none of that! I can still see it drawn up into pre-strike position with it's mouth open, as if to say "don't mess with me"! I've heard stories of them even bigger, some people telling of big black snakes stretching all the way accross the road. A small country road, but a road none the less. I've been searching ever since. But the really big ones seem to be getting fewer, and farther between. This subject is of particular intrest to me, as I keep Indigos, and they are reputed to be North Americas largest snake. So it would be interseting to see what I can come up with. Again any help would be great. Thanks,
T.
