Yep. I'd never seen anything like him before either.
There's a guy with an adult breeding pair so he sells CB babies at the local shows. The funny thing is I paid less for this guy than what they wanted for a male het. albino western hoggie. I'm thinking of picking up a female at the next show, but I don't know if I want to breed sib to sib.

Re: The most adorable snake EVER
I was curious what the care requirements were for a hognose but didn't see a caresheet listed.
How different is the care/husbandry of the hognose and the bp.
Just curious.

There are multiple species of hognose snakes, and care for each seperate species can be slightly or drastically different.
Google around for the right caresheet for the right species.

Wow he is just adorable....love those colors. I have always been attracted to them but am very hesistant due to the venom factor. I heard they are super docile though.

where did you get your hognose from, if you dont mind sharing....
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- WOW--What a Ride!!!"

He is super docile. He's never threatened to do anything other than run away. The only bites from hoggies I've seen were food related. The worst I've seen is a man's hand after he LET the hognose chew on it for a good 15 mins. Not smart, and it was another food related bite. The guy's hand and arm swelled up for a couple days.
That said, they still haven't really studied the venom of the south american varieties. From everything I've read they seem to be similar to the westerns, but a lot less is know about them.

There's a local guy that breeds them in Orange County I think. He's at all the So. Cal reptile shows with a couple of them, males and females. Last time I saw him he was sharing a booth with Powley exotic reptiles.
