I have handled up to an 18ft. 300lb female burm. I will get some pictures scanned in later for that one. I presently have a 13ft. 90+lb male burm and a 11ft. 60lb female. And here are some pics of them. the male is the albino. For scale there is me-6'5" 250lbs. I handle these every day and they are dog tame.
Oh yea, BRING ON THE TAPE MEASURER! We are ready at any time.

Correct, atricaudatus. Records are sketchy and outdated because most of the community has gone back to horrius with no ssp. I personally had a Cane that was a full 6.5'. And I have seen several knocking around 7' pulled out of South GA and Alabama. The past 5 years has actually produced some very large specimens as opposed to previous years. As the Eastern Diamondback is being extirpated from its home range (largly due to habitat destruction and Roundups), the Canebrakes are moving in as the dominant | |
