Here is a unconfirmed report of coastal capets getting over 5.5m, so i would think it reasonable to assume there have been some well over 4m IMO. The biggest i have seen is about 3.5m and i have seen a few close to that size. 3m is about the normal large size from what i have seen.
Here is the article i would find it strange for an area to have a reputation for large snakes not far away from where carpets over 3m are common(bunya mountains) if there was nothing behind it at all.
Im aware something in a paper is not real evidence, but neither are alot of measurements in herp books. Im sure if someone wanted to make up completely false snake stories to impress ppl it would have been a 5m king brown or tiapan anyway :lol:
I personally doubt the snake would have been the claimed size but unless someone has a pic of the snake its a bit hard to tell either way.
