Added some Hognose to the collection!

Ok, so I decided to jump into hognoses with both feet. I was down at Tom Agosta's this weekend and got to see all of the amazing stuff he has. I left with four hognoses.

First up is a smokin anery male. I swear, the pic does not do him justice.

Next is an albino female. This one has some interesting genetics as it is a clutch mate of an insane looking paradox plus some other sibs with some paradoxical speckling. I plan on pairing her with my male anery to make double het snows.

This is where I really took my dive. I got a pair double het for ghost. They are also possibly het for albino. First up is the female.

Next is the male.

Man thats some serious cash right there! Congrats! I would love to get into hognose's but havent have the funds (been focusing on boas). I think they are probably the best investment right now I think they will get big after the ball fad is over!

Very nice love the anery.

Thanks kevin! I wasn't really planning on getting an anery male (wanted a female), but he was way too nice to not get. And after I saw his snow in person, my snow project was born.

BigJ, I think you are right about hogs. I was at the white plains show last week and I saw more hogs that day than I did the entire year prior combined. Although, I don't think bps are a fad. If new morphs keep coming, the excitement will always be there. I think that's what is making hogs so much fun. The morphs are just sweet looking!

Big congrats! Those are some hott Hogs especially the Anery.:gj:

Congrats on the new hogs!! They are amazing. My first one comes in on wednesday! You are lucky!

That Anery is especially smokin! Congrats:gj:

Thanks! Tom was going to keep the anery as a holdback if I didn't take him. But I couldn't resist adding those genetics to a future project. The double hets should produce some just as nice since they have the same father. Or at least that is what I hope, since I'd love to add a nice girl to the collection.

Awesome pickups. I'd love to add to my collection and get a start on a snow project, but that's not in the cards at the moment. *jealous*.

Great looking hogs, they have such perfect faces.

I like how the albino has bands instead of the spots. Nice!!

I know this is late, but this seems to be a bit of a slow forum unfortunately.

But I have to say, I absolutely love that arnery.

I've been looking into hognose snakes off an on, but each time I just want one of the axanthics (i just prefer that term for no reason), but I don't have the funds to drop on one. Maybe if I planned on breeding them down the line maybe, but I'll start breeding with my bp's, and other species are purely pets.

tl;dr

Your arnery = Awesome
Me = Jealous as can be

I didn't see this post last month...

That axanthic is amazing. Sure you don't want to get rid of him?

I couldn't say no when I saw him. I originally wanted a female, but Tom told he didn't hit on any this year but had a really nice male he was considering holding back. I saw him and had to take him. I got to see his dad and he was smokin as well. I was also excited to know that he was also the dad to my Dbl Het for ghost pair. Here are some updated post-shed pics.

Intense Anery you got there! I am an old friend of Toms, I picked up a female Anery that is off the chart along with a het Anery male. Also picked up an Anaconda female and a 100% het Albino Anaconda male from him. If you had the privilege of seeing his entire collection, it is a treat! I am dropping in on him tomorrow,..I just love visiting him!:snake:

Thanks! Tom showed me the anery's father and mine should end up just as nice. His collection is awesome. I was just down there a couple of weeks ago and picked up 3 more BPs. I want to grab an anaconda from him as well but that may have to wait until next season. Those het for ghost hogs set me back most of my budget for this season. I know Tom through his friend Paula if you've ever met her? She has done most of his tattoos.

nice one

Very nice Anery.

WOW! The Anery & Albino looks gorgeous!! :O I have a normal Western Hognose. I'm tempted to get another Hognose now after seeing those pix.

Thanks for all the great feedback! These little guys are eating everything I throw at them. I can't wait to get them up to breeding size. Now of course I want to add some more to the collection. I feel incomplete without an anaconda girl.. Lol.. :D

Very nice :)

Yes, I know Paula,..she did an incredible Hognose Tattoo on me last year. :)

Those noses are too much, congrats on the pickups. You are on your way to making some great looking hogs!

Awesome looking guys!!!
