BIG! No seriously, the females get really big. There are some in the museum at UL Monroe that don't even look real. Probably close to 5 feet but the girth is what is impressive. There is a beast of one at Lake Martin if you go past the boat ramp and head down to the first gate, there is a pile of rocks with a pipe on the lake side and she hangs out on those rocks.
Yellow-bellied watersnakes can get pretty big too, the other watersnakes are generally not as big.
