Odd hognose

I got this little guy in rescue today. I have not seen an Eastern Hognose with a these colors (or lack there of). Any ideas?

WC north FL I believe. They wanted to keep it but realized that it was illegal in GA. Since I have my permits, it came to me. it is about 12".

I will be keeping him and integrating him into the educational programs on GA snakes. He hoods everytime I go into the room.

It is not the colors that threw me, it is the lack of colors. Melanistic are fairly common, but I have never seen one with no colors other than greyscale. Usually from the area he comes from, there is at least a touch of orange.

I need toads.

Great find Brian! Sometimes the younger ones lack the reds but soon grow into them. But that one looks quite a bit older. Seems to me you've got one heck of an educational animal man!
