Hi Jon. Yours is an easy solution to the problem, and I agree with you. If I was describing your large hognose, I'd probably say it is maroon with burgundy highlights. I do like the name of the breeder too, just so I may have a better idea of the genetics behind the hognose. I'm not sure some breeders appreciate us using their names, especially if it is for sales purposes. But you can always divulge that information privately.

I wish there was a universally available morph chart for hognose, or at least a standard color chart. Photos don't always show hognose colors to good advantage, but I'll sometimes put the hoggie next to a standard paint set, to show the colors are true, and not enhanced with software.

Wendell
