In the shop I help out at they are 89.99 but that's a retail environment where it does have to be marked up a little and you really pay for someone to stand behind the animal there. The biggest thing if you go to a show and find one cheap is to make sure it's eating mice! There are western and eastern hognose. The westerns are what you want (easterns are hard to find, and almost impossible to get on anything but frogs and lizards.) The venom is very weak and more directed to the natural diet of amphibians. There are pics somewhere of a guy who LET a hog bite him and turned out to be allergic though and it caused some major health concerns. These guys are pretty cool and seem to be pretty solid on frozen. The shop bought some that had never eaten before and they were scared of live pinks. 10 out of 10 are eating consecutively now though. A rock solid starter snake IMO and a little different from the corn or BP.
