Exotic Pets - Honduran Milk Snake - as part of the series on pets and animals by GeoBeats. We have a Honduran Milk Snake. This guy is native to Central America. He is going to get about three and a half to four feet long. They are fairly easy to care for. He is going to want about a 20 gallon to 30 gallon tank when they are full grown. You want a water bowl big enough for them to be able to soak in. You want Aspen or bark as a bedding, a hiding spot, and probably a branch so it can help them shed. This guy right now is eating pinkies or fuzzies, but eventually they will get up to eating mice.
