I went to my local vivarium to look into their hognoses and the guy was telling me that they start at 149$. I asked them if they were any particular morph and he said no, that they were normal hoggies.
From what I've been reading (and correct me if I'm wrong), hoggies start at 50$ and go up from there depending on morph, age, sex, etc. I've found normals and albinos for much cheaper online than what this guy was asking for. Should they be that expensive?
They're having a reptile show next weekend and I'm holding out until then to see if maybe they'll have hogs available to buy there, but I was totally shocked that they would cost so much when I've found them for so much less online plus shipping.
What is the appropriate price range for a hognose, and (should I not luck out at the reptile show) where can I find affordable hoggies for sale online? I'm not the richest person in the world (full-time student, single income) and I wouldn't mind having a normal pattern (sorry, dunno my morph terminology) hognose in my life, but I would prefer something a little different but affordable.
Any information would be appreciated.
PS. If any one knows of any hogs that are "special needs" PLEASE let me know! I would be more than willing to purchase them (at an affordable price >_>) and care for them. I have a soft spot for taking in malformed/special critters.
I feel cheated.
