    Anyone know of a reputable western hognose breeder?

    I'm so weary about purchasing a snake online, but I don't know of anyone locally that I can go to for a Western Hognose, so just curious if anyone knows of a reputable place to purchase from online?

    Greg Jackson on Fauna is a guy local to me. He sells at or slightly bellow market, but he sells beautiful and well feeding snakes. All my albino stock came from him. Triangle Reptiles I believe is his call tag on kingsnake

    Retics are my passion. Just ask.

    Cahaba river reptiles is supposed to be good as is extreme hogs (but they sell higher end morphs usually).

    I have not done business with either, but saw cahaba river at a show I went to... Their animals looked good and their prices seemed fair. I bought my hognose from envy hognose and he has been fine (other than being a very finicky eater), but I feel their prices are a bit steep, other than that I didn't have an issue with them... Payment went smoothly and they agreed to bring him to a show I was going to where I picked him up.

    I would advise that you get a well-started snake, preferably a female (I have experienced and have heard that males go off-feed more). Feeding issues seem somewhat commen with hogs so getting one that is well started on f/t mice is a must.

    Good luck!
