Never heard of the Coachwhip, just remember flushing out a copperhead out of a sewer pipe.

Those were the days of when mom said be home when the street lights came on.

I encountered a coachwhip on my property well outside of town. We don’t have those things hereabouts, except for that one at least. I was able to measure its length because I encountered it it as it paused while stretched across the driveway. I just noted where its head and tail point lay and got out my tape. Approximately 7 feet three inches. We just don’t have snakes that long around here. Wife being paranoid of snakes, wanted me to shoot it. I didn’t.

Any length over 20-22 feet is highly suspect.

I wouldn’t have noticed the Coachwhip in my back yard if a lizard hadn’t jumped off my retaining wall onto me leg. “That’s odd”, I thought. Then I looked at where he jumped from and saw the Coachwhip. I do see them occasionally when hiking, but mostly rattlesnakes and a few king snakes and gopher snakes.

Biggest snake I’ve personally seen that wasn’t in a zoo is a 75” Eastern Diamondback killed by my dad in NW FL.

The top 7 on this list of largest snakes in the US— are all invasive species. Not native— but they are here.

Occasionally some bozo has pet cobras, and they get loose. Not pleasant. The King Cobra is a “good” snake in the sense that it eats other snakes whenever it can, and other cobras as well.

These Are the 13 Biggest Snakes in the United States Today

How in the world could anyone know if he has found the biggest snake anywhere?   Did sombody use sonic X-rays from outer space to locate all of the snakes in the USA and measure their lengths?   It's a preposterous claim.

Had a 6 foot racer fly out of the toilet hitting me right between the eyes. Yeah, yeah, I know, I was a kid at the time with my head on the seat looking in it because mom said there was a snake in it. She was right.
