Western Hognose Question

Bayou.Surreal Sep 03, 2003 09:09 PM

Hey All
I've read that the range of Western, Mexican and Dusty Hognose is described as "Being west of the Mississippi river to the Rocky Mountains and from above the Canadian border to below the Mexican border". This is taken from Griswold's article in Reptiles magazine.
I understand that this range is inclusive for H. n. gloydi, H. n. nasicus, and H. n. kennerlyi. My question is how far East are H. nasicus found in Texas? I am unaware of any specimens found in Louisiana (I'm pretty sure that there hasn't been). Is the Sabine river the Geographical boundary line for the Eastern range of the Westerns? What is the most Easterly point that any of you guys have Caught, or know of Westerns being caught?
Thanks in advance!
Paul Bollinger

I understand that there is an isolated population of western hognose in Illinois.
