Description
Hypo Western Hognose Snake for sale (Heterodon nasicus) is a genetic morph of the Western Hognose Snake that has less melanin in the skin, resulting in a lighter, brighter hue than the usual wild-type version. This morph is caused by a recessive genetic condition that changes the skin’s melanin color.
The Western Hognose Snake is a tiny, non-venomous snake found in North America. They are distinguished by their upturned snouts and their proclivity to act dead when frightened. They eat mostly tiny rodents and amphibians. Hypo Western Hognose Snakes require a good environment that includes adequate heat, humidity, and hiding areas.
