I was wondering why the availability of regular old wild caught type ,natural looking hog noses are almost unable to be had .

There are about nine ads running right now for normal, het for nothing hogs. Not to mention all of the hets for sale fall into the "regular old wild caught type ,natural looking" category.

I recently aquired 2 adult females and an adult male normal het for nothing Looking foward to producing some nice, strong, healthy normals in the new season coming up. They are around. plenty of them. Just gotta weed through all the morph stuff.

I had the same problem. I finally ended up buying a pair of hets from don shores last year... This way, i can have my 'normals' and ill be able to let the albino babies go when/if i decide to breed the ones i have. Was just about the only option i had to get a normal looking western hognose.

Another reason may be that with the cost of shipping, most people won't buy normals because shipping costs as much or more than the snake does.
