Ha, yep, must have similar tastes---I love hognoses, too, but am a bit scared off by their apparent eating issues. Except for hoggies (such cute faces!), I like snakes with distinct heads and a fair amount of thickness. And, yeah, not much variety to see in The Great White North, so I have to take the internet's word for it.
I'm not even sure if there will be bloods/BSTP at the expo (in Council Bluffs/Omaha). The vendor list did have bloods on it but last year it was mostly BPs, Bearded Dragons, and Leopard geckos :/. Or maybe all the rarer critters were gone because I got there late. This year I'll be there first thing in the morning! Then I'll see what kind of variety they really have.
