I got this beauty at a pet store for $25. I was told it was a tri-color honduran. But I researched it and it looks nothing like it. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks

Looks like a tri-color Honduran to me. It may have a bit more black tipping in the white scales then normal, bit other then that I would say it looks fairly typical.
Cheer!

Looks exactly like a tricolor honduran to me as well.
Most of the tricolors you see photographed are those from captive bred lineages that have been selected to reduce the black tipping in the light bands. And people tend to put up pics of younger animals, that haven't darkened yet as well.

There is also the issue that what we call Honduran is actually a lot more variable than first thought. There was an excellent article with photos in VIVARIUM magazine that clearly showed the variations.
