Re: Saffron ~ Tricolor Hognose, L. pulcher.
Awesome Tricolor! I'm hoping to get one some day. Gorgeous animals. What's their care like? I've searched around some and most articles are pretty old so I'm not sure how up to date their info is.

Re: Saffron ~ Tricolor Hognose, L. pulcher.
Yeah, unfortunately pretty much all the care info on them is old and that's what we've followed with these guys. They seem to be doing well, cared for that way though.
Hot spot around 86-90 and coco husk/sphagnum moss for substrate and the humidity fairly high, 50-70% generally. They are borrowers and spend most of their time buried in the substrate. I'd definitely say this species should be given a particle substrate that they can borrow in.

Re: Saffron ~ Tricolor Hognose, L. pulcher.
Very cool. I haven't come across one of these guys yet. Hogs are the cutest snakes out there.. supercondas top them though- id imagine yours is close to the same price though?

Re: Saffron ~ Tricolor Hognose, L. pulcher.
These guys aren't super expensive, just very hard to find. The typical price, if you can find one, is between $200-$300 but last year someone was selling some around $400-$450, which is the highest I've ever seen them. Saffron was actually a very good price, altogether only $225 even with import shipping and domestic shipping, though on the domestic side she was part of a friend's shipment and we only paid a small part of the shipping on that leg, which helped a lot. So even though she came all the way from the Czech Republic, she was actually $25 less than the male we bought domestically in 2012.

Re: Saffron ~ Tricolor Hognose, L. pulcher.
I wonder if anyone is breeding these in the U.S.? They are spectacular, I saw them many years ago on kingsnake classifieds.

Re: Saffron ~ Tricolor Hognose, L. pulcher.
Hopefully Charis will  Black Pearl has them also. They reproduce quite a lot which is why commercial breeders don't keep them for long. When reproducing a lot the market gets flooded and then they sell the breeders off, eventually a bust cycle happens and few can be found so people get them and another boom cycle happens or at least that's what a breeder who was selling off his adults told me... but then you look at corn snakes which there are always too many of and people keep breeding them anyway so I don't get it!

Re: Saffron ~ Tricolor Hognose, L. pulcher.
In the latest pictures? It's a ceramic bowl that we were given as a wedding gift when my husband and I married. I use it a lot to take pictures of the reptiles in. It's about the size of a typical dinner plate for some idea of scale.

Right on, the color made it look like discolored or corroded metal which is why I asked. I would probably use it for snake pictures too.
