Don't let the stereotypes scare you away from the Honduran though. The truth is that getting one as a baby and handling at least once a week can work wonders in taming them down. They are gorgeous too. My Blossom has outstanding color but was sold to me for $50 because nobody wanted to handle her. It just took a little patience on my part to get her to recognize me and now she is one of my most polite and sweet snakes.
