looking for hatchling western hognose

[Jmp719]

Hello to all reading this, my name is Jeremy. I have recently become extremely interested in the western hog-nose snake, and I am currently trying to purchase one but I have ran into a bit of a road block seeing as I live in Colorado(westerns are native here)being that they are a native species there are laws to owning them. I recently spoke with the division of wildlife and inquired some information as to what the laws are, and I found out each person can own up to 4 without any licences or permits. So here is my new problem I cant seem to find any in state breeders or any companies willing to ship one to me here.Anyone who can help me acquire one I would greatly appreciate it

correction can own up to 12 but cannot aquire more than 4 per year

Nothing we can do here.

Look in local states where you can drive and pick it up yourself and bring it back.

[Jmp719]

well i was hoping to find a breeder on here that would be willing to ship one to me

[Aaron_S]

If none will ship them to you because they know your local laws then what makes you think they will just ship them because they saw you on a forum? I think you'd have to prove that what you're saying is right and get that information in writing.
