T. sirtalis is the second largest species, I think (135-140cm / 53-55"). T. gigas (Giant garter snake) would be the largest (160-165cm / 63-65"). Of course these are just the estimated maximum lengths, I doubt either actually gets that big and the males are generally a lot smaller.

If you have a male, it probably won't grow bigger than 65-70cm / 25-27".
