Pituophis lineaticollis (SQUAMATA: COLUBRIDAE): RECORD OF MAXIMUM LENGTH IN WILDLIFE

We report a new record of maximum length for Pituophis lineaticollis, based on an adult female roadkill by motorcycle in the Municipality of Santos Reyes Nopala, in the Sierra Madre del Sur, Oaxaca. The snake was measured in total length, resulting in 2,394 mm and weighing 3,600 g. Our record increases the maximum length of P. lineaticollis in Mexico by 294 mm and opens the possibility that more individuals exist with similar or even larger size in the region of the Sierra Madre del Sur of Oaxaca.
