Hi all, I have been thinking of getting a tang hondo and had a few questions. I have a couple of kings at the moment and was wondering if the husbandry requirments were pretty much the same for hondos? Can some recommend a good care sheet for hondos? Thanks for your help

Yes pretty much identical. Hondurans are very hardy and do not require a lot of heat. Just search for "honduran milksnake caresheet" in google. There are many out there.

Thanks, Will do. Also I have heard that tangerine hondos dull as they age? any truth to this?

Yes. They often acquire black "tipping" on the scales as well as a "wash" that muddies their orange color. Not all of them do this, but most of them do.

You can find allot of info out there.You can check my site westcoasthondurans http://kingsnake.com/wchond

also if you want a snake to stay pretty clean just buy a tangerine hypo and they stay nice and bright.
