Honduran milksnakes are still common throughout Nicaragua and Honduras. Like most milksnakes,...hondurans are relatively shy and reclusive. However, captive-born specimens will often become quite docile with age. Recent selective breeding has produced several stunning morphs and made hondurans one of the most sought-after colubrids on the market.

Amongst hobbyists, South Florida kingsnakes are better-known by their previous taxonomic designation: Lampropeltis getula brooksi. Brooksi are still common throughout southern Florida and have been selectively bred to produce a wide range of morphs. Brooksi make excellent pets and are a good choice for beginners. Brooksi are usually very-hardy, easy-to-feed, and often have relatively calm dispositions. These thick-bodied kingsnakes rarely exceed 4-feet in length, making them relatively easy to house and care-for. Brooksi are aggressive feeders and display many behaviors that have made them my personal favorite.

These small, mild-mannered pythons orginally come from northern Australia. Childrens pythons rarely exceed 3-4 feet in length, have a relatively calm disposition, and tend to be very-hardy. Their diminutive size and relative hardiness make Childrens pythons one of the best choices for a pet python.
