Its a normal kenerlyi variation. The thing with hogs is that their color can vary greatly even between clutch mates. If you can get a ventral photo, that will tell us more. But as far as I can tell from the dorsal photo, it is completely normal.



Xanthophores can produce both yellow and red pigments and any color the two can make together. So it is perfectly correct to call the recessive mutation we see in hognose snakes axanthic. In the field or in captivity, it all the same.
