Male Arctic Pistachio Conda 66% True Hypo & Leucistic
For Sale: Western Hognose / Plains Hognose Snake (Heterodon Nascicus)
This gorgeous little guy eats like a champ and has quite the huffy, puffy attitude. You wouldn't think such a little guy could pack so much personality. His color right now is a nice light camo green, probably one of the better ones from his clutch. I can share a photo of a similar looking sister I held back from last year if you're curious how he might look when he gets bigger. There is a possibility he is both true hypo and pistachio but at this time I'm only confident confirming the pistachio. If you're unfamiliar with either true hypo or pistachio feel free to message me and I'll happily chat your ear off about the project. He's a gorgeous little man but I already held back enough males from last year from this mom/dad pairing.
From an unrelated arctic het leucistic, true hypo & pistachio to an arctic conda het leucistic, true hypo & pistachio pos het albino.
Temperament: He is not a fan of being touched and is a bit of a wriggle worm in hand. Times like now make me wish I could insert a GIF of Kuzco from Emperor's New Groove doing the "no touchy!" bit. However full of hot air he might be, he's got a fantastic appetite and will eat most anything you put in front of him (once he's done hissing at it).

***IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION***
I ship to (most) of the continental U.S. Mon - Wed via FedEx overnight express to the nearest shipping hub. Please note FedEx requires photo ID to pick up your animal. I do not export at this time. I can also arrange for local pickup in the Tampa Bay area.
While they are legal there now, I do not ship plains hognoses to Colorado due to the amount of work required on my end to get the required documentation to ship there. Unless you are willing to pay for the vet and my time/travel expense to get it done for you, sorry, at this time it's just not worth it for me.
I do not ship plains hognoses to Iowa without proof of a scientific or educational permit. It is illegal to own them in that state as they are listed as endangered in Iowa.
I do not ship plains hognoses to Illinois without proof of a permit. You must have a (free) permit to own them in the state of Illinois. You can select a hobbyist permit here but please note that you may not breed plains hognose snakes in the state unless you are a zoo or educational program!
I also do not ship plains hognoses to Missouri or Oklahoma without proof of permit.
