General sizes of corn and kingsnakes?

On average, what are the larger types of corn and kingsnakes? I believe the Florida kingsnake usually grows larger, but what others? And similarly for corns, I read the Oketee ones are generally more husky.

Re: General sizes of corn and kingsnakes?

Some other Lampropeltis are large like Florida Kings.
Black Milks and Honduran Milks grow to 6 feet plus as well as other Central American Milk snakes. Also...I've seen some strains of California Kings that reach 6 feet.

I believe Eastern Kings (L. g. getula) to be as large or larger than L. g. floridana.....

As for corns......With all of the outrcrossing and morph mining it is rare to find a true blue locality line....Many Okeetees are labelled that for their color and pattern and are not from the Okeetee Hunt Club. Same goes for the "Miami" phase corns....

I had a pair of corns that were over 5 feet years ago but I am sure some can reach 6, possibly.......Rootbeers and Creamsicles can get rather large because they are hybrid crosses with Emoryi's ratsnakes....Emoryi should be considered cornsnakes anyway.....IMHO......

Yeah I would definitely say the eastern L. getula sp get larger. I never laid eyes on him myself, but I was told the sire to my mosaic eastern king was a monster easily past the 6 ft mark.
