Wow! Congratulations those guys look great. I have always thought they would be a hit in the hobby if someone could get them established.

I think they should be just as good as the tri-hogs are now. I just need to get more people to start breeding them. I should have more unrelated to these next year so there should be lots of them to get things going. thanks.

He's just gorgeous! I love how some of his saddles are heart-shaped.
Definitely a rattlesnake imitator, as opposed to a coral snake imitator.

This one does have a cool pattern and I have not looked to close to see what the others might have on them. But if I see something cool I will post more pictures of it. Thanks.

Congratulations on those guys! They look great! My first thought when I saw the pic is a resemblance to one of the south american rattlesnakes with the speckling around the dorsal blothces,crotalus terrificus. Kevin

Hey Jim...those red bellies are neat, Great serpents!! Did you have to do any scenting or did they just take off?
Thanks for sharing, Ken Diehl

Actually I just fed them for the first time today, and so far a few of them have taken f/t (unscented) pinky mice from their first meal. Hopefully the rest of them will feed the same the next time I try to feed them. If not, I will just wait them out like I do the tri-color hognose. I'm really happy that some of them have fed without any scenting, as this just lets me know that they are much more like the tri-color hognose then I thought they would be. This should be good news to all the other hognose breeders that plan to breed them in the future. So you better all get them while there hot.
Thanks,
Jim
