Black Western Hognose
Apparently this was wild caught and released but the colours are gorgeous. Or lack of I should say since its black and gray. Are there black hognose morphs like this out there for sale?

Re: Black Western Hognose
There are ones similar in color... but not with that intense black pattern. Axanthic Hognoses.

I personally think it's funny they said 'Tea Cup' size. I'm like,"Oh brother... Now they expect to call snakes TEA CUP SIZED."

Re: Black Western Hognose
The snake in this video is NOT a western hognose. It is a very typical, baby, eastern hognose. Heterodon platyrhinos.

Re: Black Western Hognose
I thought the estern hogs had noticeably different noses than the westerns. My tan & kind of green western has the same markings on his head and flare as this one does. Seems to have the same nose shape, too!

Re: Black Western Hognose
Its deff. an eastern hognose. First off look at the environment where the guy found it. Baby easterns look pretty similar to westerns.
