Honduran Milks are much much more tropical .........

I have not been to Honduras. But I have been to Costa Rica. I visited the mountains where the milksnakes are said to occur. I promise you, they experience just as much cold as we do here in Los Angeles area. The caveat is they do indeed have the opportunity to warm up most afternoons.

My mistake was going to the "tropics" bringing only swim trunks and t-shirts. Those mountains get COLD!

I will defer to Ginter about the origins of lineaticolis, BUT I thought Mexico City was/is the place to hunt them. If this is true, that city's average elevation is 2240 meters above sea level (about 7349 feet). I bet long pants and jacket required, at night, much of the year.
