Toffee belly?
Hi,
I was just wondering, what is the difference between a toffee belly western hognose and normal western hognose? My normal western has a dark belly that looks like toffee to me, so how is the toffee belly different?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I will try to do it
Like Loui1 sad, a belly-pic from your Hoggie would be great. But please do not use a phone-camera!
To help you fast as possible, compare your snake to the pics in this post:

and to give you a short guidance: there is no kind of black on the Toffeebellys without the Paradoxspots, but the eyes are not red.
I hope this helps
Stefan

Re: Toffee belly?
AHH Stefan... I don't have a good camera. Only my cell phone. But, I think I got it. My hognose has the toffee color but also a lot of black on the belly. The toffeebelly on the pic has just toffee and darker toffee. So, my snake's belly looks a lot darker than the toffeebelly.
Okay, so, a toffeebelly is a what kind of morph? Dominant or recessive? Just thinking if I should get a female toffeebelly to pair with my normal...

Re: Toffee belly?
Okay, here's the belly pic - but only from my phone camera. But, I'm sure you can see clearly the black marking. So, I see the difference now. The toffee belly has no black on the belly... it's all shades of toffee. Fastdad, when you get a chance, can you read my previous post and see if you know the answer to my question? Thanks a bunch!

Iīm sorry for the long waitingtime!
But I havīnt seen your post.
Toffeebellys are an recessive morph. When you breed your male to a Toffeebelly female, than all hatchlings will be 100% het for Toffeebelly. But they do look "normal".
I hope this helps
Stefan
