I urge you if you have an opportunity to hold an adult Honduran, then handle an adult Florida king or Ariz mtn king or Graybanded king and experience their personalities. You'll find that on average, Hondurans are more active or skitish when held even as adults. But they do eat well, the colors available are intriguing, and you will not have much trouble selling babies.

Hondurans on average will never win any personality contests (though they won't lose by a huge amount either), but they will win the beauty contests.

Florida kings "brooksi" will lay on your arm like a tame boa constrictor. Kids can hold them without problem. Same goes with Graybands and Ariz mtn kings. (Don't fear - once graybands and Ariz mtn kings start feeding, they are usually pigs.) Just an FYI. Get what you like and enjoy!.
