I checked that website and its a RIP off! he sels hognoses 4 for $750.00 ! Lolz. Most of the guys i talked to they are worth and they sell them for $50.00-$65.00 each, the only problem they do not ship to Canada BC cause of the Law. Sanks for trying to help any ways.

Alex, you have to rember that they were born in 2002. That must be worth something, but I don't know much about hognose and what they are worth.

Alex,
Once again, I must warn you to watch out for the bridges you burn. Henry is selling 1.3 2002 CB H. nasicus, not the little 2003 neonates that sell in the US for $50USD (don't forget your currency exchanges before comparing US and Canada), most of which are not established feeders and will die on you unless you are willing to unleash a barrage of feeding techniques.
The group is superb, not to mention that all the females exhibit an exceptional coloration. $750CAD for a soon-to-be breeding quartet is a steal of a deal and you could count yourself lucky to own such a group!
Cheers,
R

Sorry bud, highly unlikely (unless you are talking to someone in the US, again keep in mind the currency exchange and the availablity of H. nasicus in the US).

Beardonicus- I have got to get to that Kentucky show some month! Maybe right after I get my tax refund ;) That was a really good price and he is beautiful, is he an established feeder? Thought I would ask since it has been brought up.

Very nice, congrats on the new addition!

Beardonicus

Yes, he is an established feeder....I got him from Jason Feagans, the guy who runs the KY Herp Show....very good guy! You definitely gotta make it down to the show sometime!

Oh, and BTW....this snake is a H. nasicus. AKA Western Hognose. They are common in the US and you can get good adults for under $100 US currency.

RMBolton, firstable when i said i know people who are selling Hognose snakes for $50.00-$65.00 i meant thats in canadian. If you want some proof i will be happy to give you their emails and websites.

Well if they are astablished and from the year 2002, (which i did not see him say so), then it is deffenatly a great price since its that hard to get them astablished.

Alex, Henry is a good guy and would not rip people off, and in your preveice post you say they are $50-$65, but would not ship to Canada because of laws, so which one is it buddy.

This is a soon to be breeding group of stunning animals, I think I'm going to ask if they are still available, and consider buying them actually.

Feeding babies are often sold in Canada for more than $100, $125 is what I've paid happily in the past.

Alex i think you need to learn how to bite your tongue at times, you obviously dont show enough interest in the animals if all you look at is price, if they are 750, and it has a whole paragraph about them, dont you think you should take the time to readabout them?

does any one else notice that when this kid starts/replies to athread it is usually shut down

I notice everything he talks about, he has no idea what he is talking about. He likes to run his mouth off, or should I say fingers.

Hey guys just so you know, i'm not chep but, i admit that i do try to find the chepest place on each snake cause i'm in high school grade 12 and have a very limited amount of money. I do however agre that it is not a rip off cause i did not know about that they were from 2002, and infact it a very good price for a 2 year old Hognose alredy able ot breed and am considering getting a pair.

I apologize for jajing any one before reserching about them and their products properly.

From what I have heard, Western Hogs are very calm as adults, but can be feisty as babies.
