This beautiful snake is native to the subtropical regions of Honduras, where it thrives in a terrestrial habitat. Its unique coloration makes it a favorite among reptile enthusiasts and collectors.

The Honduran Albino Tangerine Milksnake is known for its generally docile temperament, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced snake keepers. It is a terrestrial species that prefers a well-ventilated enclosure with a secure lid to prevent escape. Ideal captive care includes maintaining a temperature gradient of 75-85°F with a basking spot of around 88°F. Humidity should be kept at moderate levels, around 40-60%, and UVB lighting is not necessary but can be beneficial for overall health.

This milksnake exhibits a moderate growth rate, reaching an expected adult size of 4 to 5 feet. With proper care, it can live up to 15-20 years in captivity. To ensure a healthy and thriving snake, provide a diet of appropriately sized rodents, regular cleaning of the enclosure, and fresh water at all times. A substrate that allows for burrowing, such as aspen shavings or coconut fiber, is recommended to mimic its natural environment.
