The largest snakes of Georgia
The order follows lengths published on profiles — not internet myths. The glass lizard is in the comparison because people often search it as a snake.
Size
Length only when a source exists
Giurza is about 1–1.5 m on its profile; the eastern Montpellier snake is often over 1.5 m; the red-bellied racer is 1–1.5 m. Other species sometimes only say “often 1 m or longer” — that is still a source, not an invented maximum.
This is not a world-record list. These are atlas species that stand out by size.

Not a snake
The glass lizard is large — and it is a lizard
This legless lizard is often searched as a “large snake”. Eyelids, an ear opening, and a side fold separate it from snakes. The size is from the profile stat.
