    Which Milk is the largest?

    I'm looking at perhaps getting a Milk sometime in the spring but I'm curious as to which one is usually the heaviest bodied/longest as that'd be the one I'd like to get. I know with snakes nothing is for sure but in general... From what I remember, it's the Honduran, but for looks I like the Sinolan.

    Black milks are known to reach 6-7' but probably average closer to 5-5.5'
    Andean mt. milks are also a larger ssp that don't require supplemental heat and can produce clutches year round. I'm thinking they average 5-6'.
    Hondurans aren't supposed to be as large as the two above but Shannon Brown had a wc Honduran pictured in an old issue of reptiles magazine that was 7-8' and probably as thick as a soda can.
    Sinaloans are calm easy captives that will reach 4' on average.

    You can't go wrong with any of them.

    Between the Honduran/Sinaloan, which is generally calmer (relative term for colorbids).

    Sinaloans are much more calm than hondurans. Night and day.
