So i really want to get into hognose snakes. my gf hates snakes and i think this would be a great starter because she actually finds these appealing to her eye. I was just curious as to why a snake that is compared to colubrids (or is considered one i dont really know), is so expensive? i mean i see albino morphs or anacondas priced way higher than some green tree pythons....dont take offense to this for those of you who breed them....i was just curious as to why they are so expensive when they are a relatively easy to maintain and there are a lot of them around...someone educate me
