the Honduran is the largest variety commonly found in the pet trade



I think the key words in that statement are "commonly found"... Hondurans are by far the most popular Milk Snake. That, in large part, is due to the amazing variety of colors/morphs/patterns/etc you can get them in... one of the other subspecies you mention (Ecuadoran Milk Snake) doesn't even seem to exist in the pet trade, nobody seems to have one. The Guatemalan Milk Snake... only 4 people in the USA are known to have them... the Andean and Atlantic Central are easy enough to come by but are not (thankfully) available in the wide variety of colors/patterns/morphs of the Hondos so are not as popular as they are.



Trying to keep it somewhat short... you like the Hondo... get one... with proper care and feeding they will easily get to the 3-4 feet you want... 5 ft plus would be more likely. It's the only one of the subspecies you mention that is offered in "eye popping" colors.



As far as the Exo Terra... I wouldn't keep an adult Hondo in something only 24" long but that's just me.
