Does the western hognose range extend north into Alberta Bobbafett?
There is alot of cases where indigenous wildlife aren't allowed. Here in Ontario I can't have Smooth Green snakes(without a ton of paperwork and continual reporting) but, I can have Rough Greens.
Too bad Eastern Hoggies have such strange dietary requirements or you'd likely be able to keep those there. Not to mention the paintjob variation in wild populations just smokes the Westerns. Their husbandry requirements prevented a stellar hobbyist snake.
