My Two cents having raised Nelson's, Peublan's, and Hondurans
Nelson's seem to have a more wild tendency to me in all cases, but they calm down relatively fast, and over time loose that fidgity nature, but if they go a while without being handled, they will fall right back into the same routine of musking and running.
My pueblans are a joy to work with. Extremely docile and tame, they are nearing 3 years old and my male and females are currently 36" and have started breeding this season. When I first began raising them, they were docile and had no issues. Over time, they were handled a little bit less often than I wanted, and they became more wild, but again become quite docile soon after returnring to routine.
Hondurans . . . they have a bad rep to be honest. Mine exhibits a GREAT personality, and is so full of life compared to the others. The Nelson's was a dead snake compared to this guy. When I first got her, she was already tame and ready to grab without hesitation and would just chill in the handlers hands. Over a year later still working with her, she goes with me on all my education events. She's just over 5' and tamer than any other milk I've worked with. She has a comfortable girth so more people can feel better about having a grip on her.
If I were to do it over all again, I'd stick with the Pueblans to be honest, even though the Honduran works better for presentations, there is just somthing about a bright apricot Pueblan that makes it attractive. Good size, easy requirements, and tames fast. Even though I recently traded away my Nelson's to make room for more Pythons, I don't miss it too often. She was neat, but lacked a lot in personality.
