Thanks for the nice photos. Did your snake darken with age or was it born black and white. I could still see a few red scales on him. I own 1.1 tri color hognose. One darkened as it aged and one kept its original neonate colors.

a few more photos.

All i can say is wow!!!! That is one fantastic looking hog, i love the tipping on the red, its so regimental and his white face, you have obviously mastered your camera too, they are great pictures, i only just got mine so Im not that confident with it yet.. My one was hatched with lots of tipping. I sold it to a guy in Italy, who didnt like it as it was going dark and he wanted a 'traditional' coloured one, so i gave him a bright orange one and got this one back!!!!!Result!!!! Heres Dad:

Speaking of dogs doodads!! Hows the neonate named Harlequin you posted on the thread "Something new in tricolors" back on Sept 8, 2005. That was a beautiful specimen with almost no black tipping on its red saddles. If you still have him in your collection, please post a few new pictures when you have time. I wonder how the pink tricolor hogs that were posted on the same thread are doing. Sure would be nice to see a few new pictures.

Caramba! There are some very nice photos on this thread.
I love the negro lystrophis too.
I have a pair of pulchers, and my female is getting pretty black, which I don't mind at all.

On another note, can any one put me on to any good books or information on Lystrophis. I'm having a he11 of a time finding any information on habitat, scale counts, size ect.

Keep the photos coming, there great.

www.hognose.com was the only web site I knew that had thorough information on Lystrophis but its now defunked. You can try http://hognose.reptilians.org they have a bit of information on Lystrophis. I sent them a request to see if they can get a hold of the information that was posted on www.hognose.com and put it in there website.

I think that its impossible to do, I suspect there were many more sunspecies than was realised and they all interbreed, so the tricolours that are not wc are mixed, look at this one for a start, wc from glades, anyone seen anything like it?

That wild caught snake has almost the same markings as the Lystrophis Semicinctus from Bolivia, South America posted on the web by Dirk Emert at link below.

I've obtained the domain name hognose.com and the articles about Lystrophis from the original owner and plan to resurrect the site within the next few weeks. I had intended to have it done by now but had little spare time to spend on it until brumation season.

I'm very glad to hear about this. I knew Dennis had found someone to take over the site, I just didn't know WHO. I know the site is sorely missed, and I've been providing forum users with info from the old site by using Google's Cached feature.

Are there any plans to update/revise/expand the content?

Looking forward to seeing hognose.com back on the web. Thanks LP. I hope there will be more of a response from the Hognose community of breeders, hobbyist, and herpetologists to contribute information and photographs than http://hognose.reptilians.org. Its a nice site but no one ever visits to add information to the forums.

While surfing found another variation of tri-color hognose from a breeder in Pennsylvania. Click Link below.

Thats what makes me think that we have already hybridised them, i have snakes that look like both of those in the second link and the one in the first link, I have never seen one as lighter orange as the one from glades, has anyone else?

Thanks,
That helps. I would still like to see more information on these great snakes. To be able to key them out against other tri- colors would be a huge step in the right direction. Maybe someone in South America could suggest a book?

You know, mine stay in a moist hide of s. moss 90% of the time.
Do any of you have Pulchers that are not in a moist hide and doing well?

Thanks again.

Tbh, i wouldnt keep any tri-colour without a moiste hide box;E
