Am I correct in calling this hognose a green phase? Pictured with a normal.

I'm afraid that's going to depend on who you ask. Some people call hogs green that aren't any greener than normals in my collection. It isn't a trait, and people usually have low standards in my humble opinion. To call it "green" I think the snake should be so green that if you asked someone who knew nothing of snakes what color it is, they would say green. But opinions sure vary on this.

Thanks for the reply! That's why I thought I'd ask...I've seen people calling some hogs green that look completely normal to me. She does look more "green" in person than the photo represents. I was just curious.

That's a green phase if I ever saw one. Its better looking than most you see.

I have a male that's the same color as her. I'll try to get better pics up soon.
