This is not entirely true. Hondurans average between 38 and 48 inches, but some specimens in captivity have been known to reach 70 inches. The biggest milksnake subspecies is the black milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum gaigeae) reaching +72 inches. The Andean milksnake (L. t. andesiana) also get very big.
