Tom,

Many of the kings have agressive feeding responses and are always hungry (meaning they'll "taste" your finger). Hondurans and Pueblans are hyper as babies. Hondurans calm down considerably as adults.

Normal phase milks often get darker colors as they age. In Hondurans this is represented by a dark "wash" as well as black flecking. In Pueblans the yellow bands get black flecking.

I highly recommend Nelson's. They are generally calm as babies and hold their color into adulthood without darkening much. Nelson's are as tame and as easy to keep as corn snakes.
