I think its between 1 and 1.2 metres, but dont take my word as gospel.

 

[blurb]

average size is 24 foot and 13 inches thick...real killers...jokes, yeah about 1.2 meters

according to all the books i've read, its about 1 metre

 

[TOMatoPASTE]

according to 'a complete guide to reptiles of australia'
- childrens TL = 1.02m
- spotted TL = 1.05m
- pygmy TL = 0.61m
- stimson's TL = 0.89m

these are fairly up to date measurements as the book was only released a couple of yrs ago

i really think its dependant on the individual snake, its feeding history, environment etc, the parents of both of my stimms were all over 4 feet, ( 120cm+)

everyone is right. There will be variations but 1-1.2 mtrs is pretty much right on the money
