I have been pining after a hoggie for so long now... I was going to wait a few years for a friend to breed hers, but at the Sacramento Reptile Expo yesterday this little guy just called to me! <3

He's from May of this year, and is just an absolute doll :) The guy warned me when I asked to hold him, saying a woman was bitten earlier... I said that would be quite alright and wouldn't be a discouragement lol but "Griffin" took to me quite well :)

This is just a cell phone shot from the expo... I might try to get some real photos of him this week, or maybe next week depending on the weather.

Thanks y'all! :)

Too cute! I like his name too!

Thank you! It used to be one of my favourite names, and I sort of forgot about it over time... Then I heard it again the other day and was reminded how much I adore it. The moment I held him, I knew that was meant to be his name!

Nice! Not too many Hog Nosed snakes at the show, seemed like lots of Ball Pythons and Leopard Geckos. I wanted to pick up an adult female Hog Nose for my adult (or nearly adult) male but the larger females were pricey.

Thanks :) Yeah, I only found two - maybe three - folk with hoggies there! Most were pricey for being higher % het something that I saw... Griffin is 66% het pink. I am not a morph breeder, so I'm not concerned with all that though lol

I can't remember offhand, honestly. If you were at the expo, I got him from the booth inbetween the food court and the Labs booth... If that helps at all LOL

I wasn't aware GBU even sold normals? Every time I asked they never had any available as they mainly only have morphs.

They did have at least one normal adult female at the show.
