A male probably won't hit 25 ft.. but 20 foot by no means unheard of for a male. 15 foot, over 100lbs? Yeah that's pretty damn likely.

I was around a 16 footer just two weeks ago or so.. and let me tell you, your mom has quite legitimate concerns. Not a snake that could eat you, but definitely one that could kill you if you aren't careful around it. Snakes as small as 10-11 feet have been known to be capable of killing humans on occasion.
