I am thinking about getting a pair of albino Honduran Milk Snakes. I have just started to research them and had a couple of questions. First a little more about me. I do have several years experience keeping venomous snakes and large constrictors. However, it has been a few years so I am finding myself a little rusty. My biggest obstacle is talking the wife into it because my snake experience came before her. She is not afraid of snakes, but she does not like them either. She does not have any problems with the black snakes I refuse to allow anyone to harm living around the house (Outside). However, she freaks when I have to move them and they start to strike. With that said I want to get something that has lots of color and that is not very aggressive. I like the Honduran for it's color, but I am not sure how aggressive they are. I remember them being very skittish when they are young, but I do not recall much on them as adults. I also do not want something that is going to need a huge cage. I have also thought about the Gray Banded king snake, but since I want to breed them and the problems getting their young to eat I have ruled them out. I have not looking into getting the Honduran’s young to eat yet. I have also thought about the Mountain King Snakes, but have not seen any for sale. If you guys know one that would work better in my situations I am all ears, but I really like the color phases of the Honduran.
