Looks like a pure pueblan.

honduran or andean

Before selective breeding was in vogue, the snake in the photo was typical of the pueblans bred in captivity. The black head & wide bands (almost equal in width) are defining traits. Neither Andeans nor Hondurans have them.

This link has a photo of a Pueblan & an Andean:

THO I SAW FOUNDING STOCKIN LATE 70S EARLY 80S AND THEY DID NOT LOOK LIKE THAT TO ME

It does at first look very pueblan but the give away is the small band of white on the snout. It is actually a honduran. Check out this honduran breeders photos.
