Male Superconda Purple Line Extreme Red Het Albino 66% Het Axanthic
For Sale: Western Hognose / Plains Hognose Snake (Heterodon Nascicus)
This boy runs a little hot and cold. Sometimes he's an utter darling and sometimes he is very clear he expects you to heck off. Despite his 'tude, he's a beautiful boy with rich earthy color and red saturation. The stripe down his back is that perfect autumnal pumpkin orange (right now, bear in mind this may change with his growth shed), and I expect his overall red tones to only get better with age.
From an unrelated extreme red purple line superconda het albino and axanthic paired to an arctic extreme red albino conda het axanthic.
Temperament: As mentioned, he waffles between being calm and being testy. He's not particularly full of bluster but he does like to pull cobra face to let you know when he's getting annoyed. He's never turned down a meal since hatching and is currently on unscented, but his future owner should be aware he's fond of chicken broth scent in case he does get finicky in the future.
Weight as of 10/10/25 was 9.3g.
Hatchlings will not ship until they have taken 8 - 10 meals without problems and are at minimum 8 - 10g. No babies are offered for sale until they are regularly taking consecutive unscented frozen thawed pinkies.
Payment must be made in full before I ship/deliver. Payment plans can be worked out on a case-by-case basis. Just talk to me, let's work something out!
***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.
I do not ship plains hognoses to Colorado, as it is illegal to own them there without a license. If you have questions about the process, I suggest speaking with a local, Teresa from Hip Hogs.
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!
