whats the largest milk,i think its the honduran but is there any sub species .also some care tips would be nice

Although the Honduran Milksnake is certainly one of the bigger "Milks", as are all the forms in Central America, the biggest size is attained from the southernmost subspecies,..the Andean Milksnake,Equadoran Milksnake,and the Black Milksnake,...with the subsecies basically getting smaller traveling northward.....................as for proper care, you can type in "care sheet" for just about all of them after the common name on "Google"..................................Doug

Well,
They claim that the andeans and micropholis are the largest but I have never seen one over seven foot.I had a male andean that was about four inches shy of seven and the largest milk I have ever had was a male black milk that was right at seven foot.
This pic shows a Honduran that is just shy of eight foot.Louis Porras had it several years ago.
