Beautiful hoggie! They're on my wish list but they're illegal here. :( Make sure to post more pics as he grows!

Why are they illegal in canada? Because of their mild venom?

Illegal in Alberta, I think because they're a native species here. Alberta's kinda weird... We aren't allowed live rats either! :rolleyes:

In Pennsylvania you can't own native species either.

Re: My first hognose
My first hognose happened to be my second snake which i had to sweet talk my wife into letting me have, snakes freak her out for some reason. funny story, she wanted to hold him cause she thought he was cute and within 10 seconds of her holding him he got nervous and went into full out bluff mode with flattened neck and mock strikes. she panicked and tossed him onto my desk and ran into the living room crying... i died laughing and then soon realized maybe not the best way for her to warm up to the whole snake thing lol. but over all really funny little guy and i just picked him up and he was back to normal.

from what i read these guys are banned due to over harvesting wild hogs for the pet trade and they're declining numbers from being killed because they resemble a rattlesnake.
