The infertile eggs were all given to various other snakes as snacks.Hey all, question is pretty much in the title. I'm looking for a new snake as I have a BP (2 years old) and a MBK thats under a year and I was looking for a new snake. I was thinking of getting either a FWC or a Hog nose but I'm shying away from a FWC because I think it would be to stressful for me to handle, maybe in a few more years who knows. ![]() Is there really any difference between them other than a few slight physical differences and possible color morphs? I also noticed the Honduran cost about 2x as much, is there any reason for this other than maybe being more rare or something?Īny suggestions/comments about these two would help me a lot, thanks! So I came across these two types of milk snakes and I really couldn't find much that compared the them.Īnyways I like my MBK quite a bit and I've got him to the point to where when I take him out he just sits and looks at me like "sweet free ride" and I know milk snakes are a close relative to them and they have some pretty cool morphs that wont break the bank as much as a BP morph. I've been doing some hunting trying to find answers to many of these questions. Most milksnakes that you are going to find in the pet trade are not pure. ![]() There are 25 or so of the Lampropeltis triangulum. So your Nelson's is probably a different locality with slightly different characteristics than say a Sinaloan, Pueblan, or Honduran. There are some general trends it seems, but because of the high degree of crossing between subspecies, its really hard to pin down a for sure length, behavior, width of bands, etc. Nelson's if you can find a pure type, do tend to be a bit smaller. Many of these are actually Sinaloan x Nelson hybrids. Your Honduran milk snakes will be longer, but again its hard to say how much longer. It seems as though Hondurans are capable of being one of the larger types.Ī Sinaloan or Pueblan will be in the middle between Nelson's and Hondos. I don't know much about behavioral traits. I've generally heard that proper handling over time can reduce their squirming. Milk snakes to tend to be flighty, as are kings. Here are some links to info, and a link to a thread over at that has a photo of a giant Hondo. I would ask those guys, they seem to know a lot.
