Ruthven's Kingsnake and New Hognose pictures
Since I got a hognose yesterday, I thought it's time to post pictures of him and some updates of my Ruthven's king.
This is Theodore, the new snake addition. I've wanted a hognose for a while but held off until I'd researched them enough. Now, almost a year later, I got one (well, Santa twisted my arm into getting him  )
How can you resist a snake with a nose like that, fat chubby looking 'cheeks' and big googly eyes? I know length isn't a good indicator of age but would anyone like to guess how old he might be so I have a rough idea? He's about 12" / 30 cm long.
And here's (Uncle) Roy, my L. ruthveni. I got him New Year's Eve 2003, so he's been here almost one year and had never ever refused a meal. His feeding response is fantastic. He does wait long enough for me put the food onto the feeding tray, but not a second longer.
Showing off some of his tunnels. I just wish he'd poop on top of the aspen, not in the tunnels where I have to rummage around to find the mess .... and get it all over my hands.

The Ruthven's is (supposedly) het for albino but I have no clue if he is. All I know is I got him from a reputable person and have no reason not to believe it. He's not as splashy in the colour department as some kings and milks, but he sure is a sweety, very calm and just loves to curl up inside my sleeve.
I noticed there was a distinct lack of advice to stop collecting snakes. Not even one person told me to knock it off. With that in mind, I went and bought a female hognose today. I'm picking her up on Wednesday, I need a day to get her enclosure ready. If my snake collection grows as big as the gecko collection, I might have to blame it all on the forum members, takes some of the heat off Santa. 
Paul, are the 'white' bands on your female creamy/yellow or am I just seeing things? I really like that colour combo.
