This one was about 5' long. The biggest I've seen here have been about 6' long, and those are in my attic. They're great climbers & I think they slither right up one of my large oaks and into a hole along the roofline.

Well, they aren't venomous and the bite isn't bad, it just bleeds a lot. The only problem is they have a very strong musky odor and if they musk you you will smell for the rest of the day or until you can get a shower, whatever comes first. They eat a LOT of rats.
