Thanks!,.....yeah, Andean milks are another large triangulum subspecies. Don't know what Pueblan milks have in common with "monster milks" though as they rarely exceed 42 inches..LOL!
I had a pair of Andeans back in 1995 when they were extremely uncommon in the hobby. However, I can say with complete confidence that THE LARGEST milksnake specimen ever known would have to be this tangerine Honduran (Lt.hondurensis) that was imported from Honduras through Louis Porras and Joe Baraducci of "The Shed" in Miami back in the late 70's and sold to Ray Cummings. Ray later sold it to Zooherp in the early 90's.
Louis Porras (on far left) measured it several times for utmost accuracy, and proved to be just one inch shy of an astounding 8 feet long! I have worked with and have seen many thousands of different milksnakes in my lifetime, but this specimen is by far THE LARGEST milksnake I, or anyone I know of has ever seen or heard of to present day........period!..
