Honduran milksnakes are very flighty animals. Don't expect your snake to become a ball python in attitude. The biting will stop with age, but the nervous demeanor when held may remain its entire life.
They are great captives nonetheless. They eat. They tolerate husbandry mistakes.
As for mixing Pueblans and Hondurans, it is very possible - they breed readily. You will have a heck of a time unloading babies, as many folks will not be interested in paying money for such crosses. I wouldn't do it.
IMO, Pueblans are truly interesting animals, quite unique looking. They haven't been "altered" as much as Hondurans have. I would not take away from the Pueblan by mixing in hobby Hondurans. Leave the Pueblans out of it. You can spend as much money and produce neon sparkle hobby Hondos that sell or have trade value, rather than crosses that do not.
Maybe Dmong will buy the crosses. Just ask him.  ----- Mark
