Black Western Hognose

[nev]

Apparently this was wild caught and released but the colours are gorgeous. Or lack of I should say since its black and gray. Are there black hognose morphs like this out there for sale?

That was just the cutest little guy! Here I found this site and I guess there is a one that looks similar.
Hognose Snakes (http://www.cuttingedgeherp.com/hognose/item.nhtml?profile=hognose&UID=109&Direction=Next)

Yeah, not as black though. This guy in the video had reeeally rich blacks huh?

Most definitely an Anerythristic... Nice!! thanks for showing us that.

There are ones similar in color... but not with that intense black pattern. Axanthic Hognoses.

I personally think it's funny they said 'Tea Cup' size. I'm like,"Oh brother... Now they expect to call snakes TEA CUP SIZED."

Eastern or Western? Eastern have blacks.

The snake in this video is NOT a western hognose. It is a very typical, baby, eastern hognose. Heterodon platyrhinos.

I thought the estern hogs had noticeably different noses than the westerns. My tan & kind of green western has the same markings on his head and flare as this one does. Seems to have the same nose shape, too!

Its deff. an eastern hognose. First off look at the environment where the guy found it. Baby easterns look pretty similar to westerns.

Haha that little hognose looks so funny all flared up! :p
