 Honduran Milksnake ID assistance PLEASE

I am trying to correctly identify the milksnake I fell in love with recently at a small town fair. The owner said he was a Honduran Milksnake. Having owned only red tails in the past, I didnt realize how many different Honduran Milksnakes there are. The one I saw was red and black only. The red stripes were so vibrant they almost looked fake. I have found photos very similiar of snakes with orange bands as well, but this guy looked strickly black and red. The bands were consistent in size to one another, but I was unable to see the snakes head or tail.

Any suggestions, advice or photos would be greatly appreciated. After reading the Q & A from the members of this forum the last few hours, its obvious this was my best bet for guidance. Thank you.

Sounds like a tangerine Honduran milk. Great snakes, largish size for a milk, only a little skittish with daily handling while young, some laid back almost as adults. Temperaments do vary quite a bit though. A few can be really squirrely to handle.

Thank you so very much for your assistance. I will see if I can find some photos of Tangerines to confirm.

I just viewed a photo of you holding a long red and black snake. That is it. Thank you again. Where would you suggest I look to buy one. The podunk town I live in has a pet store, with fish only. When I asked about reptiles they thought I was kidding.
