Biggest Hondos and Puebs

What are the largest hondurans and pueblans you guys have? Pics? I've seen a photo of a 7 footer on here before. Just wondering what's out there right now.

There was a line of tangerine hondos from Roy Stockwell in Canada that hit the 6 foot mark easily. I think Shannon has the line now and I haven't heard from Roy in many years.
Jamie Quick in Florida had a good breeding group of the line, might be worth tracking him down if you want really massive tangerine hondos.
Can't help with campbelli tho....

Thanks Jeff. I actually have one of Shannon's hondos, an anery, that I bought in 06 or early 07. I'd be cool if he hit 6 feet within a few years. In fact, I saw a pic that was posted on here by Shannon (I believe) of an 8 foot Hondo! That thing was massive.

The Stockwell line absolutely were enormous Hondurans. I had a group of about 6 back in the mid-90's and they were spectacular -- I know I have old pics somewhere. But Jaime Quick, as Jeff had mentioned, used to live here in NY and I'd purchased them from Jaime who, at that time, was brokering Roy's offspring at very reasonable prices. I'm sure by now many of those animals, due to the alternative-genetic-appearance phase over the last 10 years with Hondurans, have been outcrossed. Roy is still very much breeding snakes and I could have sworn I'd seen him post at some point last year. Also, Norm Damm in Ohio also has a line of very large Hondurans as well and his line is well-represented and I want to say possibly un-outcrossed in some collections. His line is known for throwing off very aberrant specimens thus the likelihood of much outcrossing into other animals for the influence of ypomelanism, albinism, and the like. Now I really have to go back and look for old photos that are most likely prints and not electronic images -- aaargh!
