Was just going to say this; my brother had a pair (male died last summer, unknown cause ), and neither of them were over 6 feet. I haven't handled the female, but the male was a beautiful, docile animal who never showed any aggression. He was pretty active during handling, though, so I'd agree with the poster who suggested that a BRB wouldn't work very well as a put on your shoulders while you do chores snake.
