...Funny that you mention the Honduran possibility (not stating that is what the seller sold me but playing devils advacate). When I look at his head compared to the female, they look very different to me. She has a more pointed snout whereas his is a bit more blunt. That could be due to the current size differce. the may look completely identical when she is over four feet as he is.

Well he is a great snake otherwise. Hopefully he will complete his color change. If not, I will still keep him around.

>>some years back I had a very well known and reputable breeder tell me that back when Black Milks were high dollar items and uncommon in the hobby there were folks that were breeding them to their Honduran projects in hopes of using the dark pigment in some morphs with the public none the wiser.(Probably still have the e-mail)

>>Is that why some of ours look dirty? I have no idea.
