Honduran Milk Snake Question

I love the tri-color of the milk snakes, or the tangerine phase of the Honduran. I've often seen and heard repeated that the Honduran is the largest variety commonly found in the pet trade. Is there any truth to this?

I ask because the kind folks on this forum shared this chart:http://www.pitt.edu/~mcs2/herp/Lampropeltis.html and it shows many to be larger than the Honduran, such as the Ecuadoran, Andean, Guatemalan and Atlantic Central American Milksnake. The other longer snakes listed I don't think would be confused with a Honduran.



If the Honduran is the largest commonly found in the pet trade, what is a reasonable average length?



Also, could you comfortably keep a 5-6 ft milk snake in the exo-terra medium-low tank?

I basically want a milk snake that is longer than 3-4 feet.
