Are there any difference in hardiness in the different subspecies of milks?
For example how they tolerate stress, inviromental changes etc.
I was thinking of getting a honduran, are they one of the more hardier species?

Thanks again

Some one must have an opinion on this subject.

Nelsoni, sinaloae, hondurensis, stuarti... virtually any of the Latin American forms would be fine for a first milk. They're large and tend to feed well.

I have a couple of campbelli that are pretty much eating machines and are growing quickly. However they are a bit squirmy and musk a lot, which is getting to be a nuisance as they get bigger. But they are beautiful and what I would describe as being "hardy". Not big like some of the others but sturdy.

I agree with Cole, but if your looking for a smalle species from north of the border, I would recommend Annulata. Despite their common name, Mexican Milks, they do occur in the southwestern U.S.

Once you get an annulata started they are great.
For the most part feeding machines.

Thanks guys
I`m picking up a pair of tangerine hondurans tomorrow. I like that they get big.
They should be ready to breed in 2008
