I do not know any hognose breeders in those States. Can you name one or two?
Not many breeders in Colorado because of the fact that you can only have up to 12 at any time. Breeding and hatching one clutch would put you over the limit and would cause you to be breaking the law. Also, even if captive bred, they can not leave the State of Colorado. Also, those of us, outside the State of Colorado are not allowed to ship hogs into the State of Colorado.
Here are the laws.
Except as provided in #015.A. of these regulations, up to four individuals of each of the following species and/or subspecies of reptiles and amphibians may be taken annually and held in captivity, provided that no more than twelve in the aggregate may be possessed at any time:
Plains spadefoot
Woodhouse’s toad
Boreal chorus frog
Painted turtle Ornate box turtle
Common sagebrush lizard
Ornate tree lizard
Common side-blotched lizard
Prairie lizard
Plateau fence lizard
Gophersnake
Terrestrial gartersnake
Plains gartersnake
Common lesser earless lizard
Tiger whiptail
North American racer
Plains hog-nosed snake
Hybrid Mode
