I don't know what year of school you're in, or whether you're planning to go on to med school or something. But if you're within a couple years of graduation (and moving) why not get a 2012 hatchling honduran later this summer? it'll require a smaller cage. (I share the view that the sizes you are able to provide are too small for adult hondos, and I have considerable experience with them, as do others here). Second, resist the temptation to "power feed"--don't feed aggressively to maximize growth, feed instead to sustain good health and no more. Your snake might be 24-28" at a year of age, and 3-4' after two years. If, by that time you're in a position to provide larger housing, then this might offer you a way to get the animals you want. Are you dis-served if they take 4 or 5 years to get "big" instead of 2?
JUst an idea.
