    Re: need info!

    Hmm, now i'm sure someone will correct me if i am wrong, but finding some morphs are difficult and there are by no means as many morphs as ball pythons. I don't personally know of any pages like the ones you use for ball pythons, but that's not to say that they aren't out there.
    Morphs are just starting to gain popularity among hognoses. I got into it because there weren't too many morphs out there and it was relatively inexpencive. Now, we are seeing supercondas and all this other stuff that's running into the 10's of thousands and more! I think i's more common with hognoses to have different morph mutations, like high red albino or a pink albino. It also depends what kind of hognose you decide to work with. Most things are done on eastern and western because they are common and when you go for patternless, it doesn't matter if it's a mexican compared to a western. I have my preferences, but that's just me.
    Take a look around, it's new so people are coming out with new stuff all the time. There are no cinnamon hognoses, or pinstripe (that i know of) so people are trying new things all the time. Some places forcus on different albino morphs instead of anything else, so it's all on the person, and most of this breeding is on a privatized basis.
    Of all the tyrannies a tyranny executed for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. for it may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busibodies. For a robber baron's cruelty may cease; his cupidity may at some poitn be sadiated. But those who torment us for out own good do so without ceasing because they do so with the approval of their conscience. ~C.S. Lewis

    Re: need info!

    I came across this when I was looking for a western for my son:
    http://www.cuttingedgeherp.com/hognose/list.nhtml

    It has some of the morphs but I don't think it's even close to a comprehensive list...

    0.1.0 pastel bp
    1.0.0 spider bp
    0.1.0 albino bp
    1.0.0 bumblebee bp
    1.0.0 yellowbelly bp
    0.0.1 normal bp
    1.0.0 normal western hognose


    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!"

    There's quite a few Hognose morphs, but a lot of them are expensive:
    Albino*, Pastel**, Oddball*, Anaconda***, High-red*, High-green*, Toffeebelly***, Vanilla Cherry, Red Albino, Axanthic, Hypo, Paradox, and Lightning***, just to name the ones I know. There's a website that might have the info you need called Extremehogs.com

    *Affordable sometimes **I have one! ***Relatively new

    My snakes:
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa ~Nephthys~ (aka "Linky")

    In a better place:
    1.0 Pastel Western Hognose ~Charon~ 10/3/07-4/24/09

    If you need/want to know anything about Hognose snakes, just ask me.
