Hoggies are awesome little animals. I absolutely LOVE mine!
I would advise talking to the breeder and making sure the snake is eating well and eating F/T already if that's what you plan to feed. They can be tricky to get started eating, as a matter of fact I got mine as a "rescue" kinda (long story) because he wouldn't eat for two other people. Since being in my care since March he hasn't missed a meal and is in great shape!

Re: Worth $100 dollars? First Hognose
If you're not breeding you're paying extra money for hets. I don't follow the market for hogs but I got a male het albino last year for $50. Awesome little guy full of personality

Re: Worth $100 dollars? First Hognose
If you intend in breeding the make is a really good deal considering it is het lavender, the female I would pass, if your intent is to breed get a 100% female.
Poss Hets can be fun to prove but I would only ever consider doing so wit a visual male if I were you.
And if you are looking for pet there is not reason to pay extra for something you have no use for (hets), you can find a male for $50 and a female for $75

Thanks everyone!!! I would love one of these little dudes but they are definitely very pricey and I probably would like to hold one before buying. I'll be patient and wait for the next show!

Good thinking! They are awesome little snakes, but I think it's a good idea to wait and handle a few. Try to handle a juvenile and an adult if possible. Something tells me after handling a hognose you'll be bringing a hognose home.
If your mind is set on a morph of some sort, yeah, they can get pricey, but a normal is very affordable. I personally think you can't go wrong either way. You should be able to find what you're looking for at an expo though.
Keep us posted!

JMG produces quality hognoses and is a great a guy. A hognose is going to be around for more than a decade as long as they are healthy so when I look at a snake, I don't let the price deter me unless it's something out of my budget because that snake is going to be with me for a long time. If it's an investment, that's a long term investment. If you like what you've found then go for it. Hognoses are hatching right now though so you may see more at the next few reptile shows.
