These charming little snakes are native to the USA. Their name originates from their upturned nose which is used to burrow for food or shelter. When threatened the hognose can produce a loud hiss and form a cobra-like hood. If this bluff fails their next resort is to play dead. They are active, inquisitive and if handled regularly make excellent pets. It is worth noting that this species is rear-fanged and mildly venomous.
Our line of red albinos produces very high contrast individuals in most of the offspring, this is the same line of albino we have been working with for over 10 years and we hatch many stunning snakes every year from this line.
*Please note: Virtually all our Hognose, are possible hets for various recessive morphs. They are only as listed as their visual morph, or guaranteed het.
