I have been working with thousands of milks and kings for over 25 years now, and it is DEFINITELY not a Honduran milksnake, or any pure milksnake subspecies for that matter either. The head is pretty far away to distinguish all the prominent markings, but it looks like it is a MSP thayeri, or possibly a thayeri cross of some sort.

Can you take a few more shots of the entire snake stretched out without being coiled up, along with some better well-lit head shots?

The photo you used from the gallery belongs to my friend Kevin M., and it isn't the greatest example for a Honduran either.

Anyway, forget about it being a Honduran, it doesn't even come close to keying-out as a Honduran milksnake meristic-wise, but some other better exposed photos with better lighting could definitely help big-time in correctly IDing it further though.

These are just a few Honduran's(which that one isn't)that I have and have produced. Below them are a couple pure thayeri MSP from about 20 years ago i used to have.
