Thanks . . . The female in the pic looks like she's had a "Oh-my gosh-look-it's-a-cobra-lets-club-it-to-death-injury" on her lower half on her body in two spots. Luckily she somehow escaped and it looks like an old injury but with some ugly calcification bumps on her spine and a few missing ribs. But she does seem healthy enough to breed. I have a female okeetee corn that was nearly cut in half a long time ago and survived. She bred and laid 22 eggs this year and they ALL hatched!!! Snakes are SURVIVORS!!!
But I agree: (Been herping for over 25 years) Hognoses ARE a rare find for me too and I usually find Cornsnakes, copperheads, racers, kingsnakes, watersnakes, etc. for many months before I find just ONE hoggie!!!
