I have owned Hognoses for a total of 4 days...My wife, Jenn, was taking pictures last night and I noticed this guys pattern is different then all the rest.

5 of them I purchased have spots from their head down about 1/4 of their body and then have stripes that run across their bodies to their tail.

This guy has spots that run from his head almost all the way down to his tail and then has the stripes. It may just be a normal occurence. I have no idea. Feedback on hognose patterns would be great.

Thanks, Mark

Hey, Mark you only live a few miles from me and go to the same
monthly show[Dixie Show in Birmingham]. And i like your sandboas
very nice collection! I have the lavender hogs, plus some other
morphs. Wellcome bro,keep your eye on hogs and watch where they
go. And get some females!Feel free to e-mail me.

That is a very cool pattern on that guy... I really like the look of spotted hogs... Very nice...

anyone know?

I do not know, but nice pic..

So, what I have gathered is that this pattern is fairly common in the hognose world. Since the post I've spent a lot of time looking at anacondas and super anacondas and definitely see the desired pattern reduction.

Thank you everyone for your comments.
