Extreme Red Phase Albino Western Hognose Snakes
( Heterodon nasicus nasicus )
A relatively new color phase of the Albino Western Hognose is the Extreme Red Phase. This super- intensified color phase was initially produced by breeding a very out-crossed BHB Albino animal to an extremely Red normal Heterodon nasicus gloydi female selected and owned by Regis Opferman. 100% hets were produced and crossed back together to make this outstanding color phase. Images shown are of our Extreme Red Phase Albino male, a Red Phase 100% het. female and a 100% het. male. |

Albino Western Hognose
(Heterodon nasicus nasicus)
We started our Albino Western Hognose project in 2003. We have a diverse group 100% het albino females and several unrelated, giant, high contrast normal females we breed to our albino male These breedings produce big, strong, out-crossed, 100% Het. Albino babies with extremely healthy appetites. Their feeding response is very vigorous which makes feeding time fun! 100% het. Albino images also included.! |

Hypomelanistic Western Hognose Snakes
( Heterodon nasicus nasicus )
Hypomelanistic Western Hognose snakes are still quite rare in collections.
Specimens of this morph have greatly reduced melanin which intensifies the remaining red pigmentation. Some have been described as a new form of the albino morph. We have been out-crossing our 100% het Hypomelanistic male to high red normal females while we wait for our Hypo female to reach breeding size. The possible het babies are some of the best looking Western Hognose snakes we have produced to date.

Bernalillo County
New Mexico Locality Western Hognose Snakes
( Heterodon nasicus nasicus )
Locale specific Western Hognose snakes are hard to come by these days and we are very happy to have kept original group 100% pure. Each year we are very surprised at how different our "BC" hatchlings look. We are currently trying to refine a "High Pink" phase and what we are initially calling our "Blurry" Phase. |

Normal Western Hognose Snakes
( Heterodon nasicus nasicus )
Our normal Western Hognose breeder females are nicely contrasted animals. We use our Red female for outcrossing our Hypomelanistic line. The poss. Het. Hypo offspring she produces, when bred to our Het. Hypo male, are unusually light. We use our other females to outcross our Albino lines. All of our normal breeder females routinely present very fertile second clutches often without being re-introduced to the male. |

Green Western Hognose Snakes
( Heterodon nasicus nasicus )
Our Green Phase Hognose project is still in its early stages of development. We hope to work this bloodline into our Albino and Hypo Lines in the future. |

Red Western Hognose Snakes
( Heterodon nasicus nasicus )
We purchased this Red Phase Western Hognose from Richard Evans in August of 2006. An incredible animal!! We are already brewing up breeding strategies for this bad boy. |
