Hi There.
to the forum. ![]() You have not said what type of pine snake you have, so I am guessing here that you have got a northern pine snake, and judging by the group that I had, and still have one of, 10ft was a good average length for mine. If a black pine, then again, judging from my own, around 8ft to 9ft by the age of 15 years. Kind Regards, Mo. ![]()

According to Roger Conant's Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America (second edition), which is sitting beside me as I type, lengths are as follows:
Northern pine snake -- average adult length, 48-66 inches; record length, 83 inches. Florida (southern) pine snake -- average adult length, 48-66 inches; record length, 90 inches. Black pine snake -- average adult length, 48-64 inches; record length, 74 inches. Bullsnake -- average adult length, 50-72 inches; record length, 100 inches. For what it's worth, 8 feet = 96 inches. The only USA snakes with a measured record length over 100 inches are the black rat snake and the Florida indigo snakes. Though there are anecdotal records of bullsnakes ~25 feet long. ![]() |
