Re: New Albino Western Hognose.

Beautiful little snake! I sometimes wonder what benefit hognose snakes derive from the shape of their snouts. It seems that every change in the morphology of an animal starts as an anomaly that then survives if it provides some sort of benefit to the animal. Perhaps it helps them burrow better or protects their nostrils from dirt when they do. Any other thoughts...
