- Abstract
The maximum known size for all currently living snake species from Bulgaria was estimated based on a combination of literature and new data. A comparison between the maximum size documented in Bulgaria and that in the rest of the respective species range was made. Results revealed that the maximum known size of Platyceps najadum was registered in Bulgaria. Up to date across all species, only three specimens (all belonging to Dolichophis caspius) have a reported size in excess of 2 meters. The "record" sizes of the largest species are discussed.
