Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

There is a difference between selling captive bred and born hogs vs those that have been collected from the wild. Before you sell it you should have it vet checked, just to rule out any parasites. You should also do as Glen suggested and make sure it eats readily. It could be illegal in Texas to sell native wildlife, so you might want to call one of the buyers/sellers listed in the paper and ask, or check your local laws and regulations concerning the collection of native species. You could also put it back where you found it.

Umm..........
Either my computer sucks or the picture does (probably my comp. lol) But i would have to have a clearer picture or have to see it in person. But if you could possibly get a clearer picturer i could tell you. Not to jump to any conclusions but in the first pic the head shape makes me think its an eastern hog if a hog at all.
Dont get rid of it because i may be interesting in buying it from you, please try to get a clearer picture and check it for endoparasites or mouth rot, and i may purchase it but.......we dont know what it is lol. I have been breeding Southern Hognoses for 5 yrs. now so ill take it no doubt if it is a hognose, but try to fing out. Search for pics of hognoses on Yahoo!, besides that maybe buy a book or something, if you dont have the correct equipment to keep it and eventually let it go, then tell me, ill check it out, then ill release it in the correct area, but keep it for a week or so, and if it behaves weird definitely let it go. I hope i was of some help,
Michael.

A Madagascan Hog in Texas?
The pic does look a bit blurry, but that snake has a remarkable resemblence to my Western Hog, especially in the saddle (I think, would that be the brown side blotches?) area and color. I've found W. Hogs locally and I'm in New Mexico, Texas borders us to the east.

Well, I guess it could be a Madagascan Hognose Snake if someone in the neighborhood had one that escaped. Then again, my guess is that it would look something like a Madagascan Hognose which from the available pics it does not, at least to me. It seemingly does have a resemblance to a Western Hognose Snake in these pics.

Yes i think you could be right but again my computer is horrible and i cant tell, i didnt get a chance to look at the last pic he had posted, so when i looked at it i knew it wasnt a madagascan, but if it is used to captivity you never know. But find out what it is and i amy take it assuming it does well in captivity. Thanks

How is it used to captivity? He said he found it in the wild. I've found quite a few Westerns out here and they have mostly been calm and seemingly "pet-like". Only one was a bit agressive, but he/she struck with a closed mouth and then was very calm by the time I let it go. When I decided that I liked W. Hogs and wanted to keep one, I bought it captive bred and born from a cornsnake breeder in New York instead of taking one from the wild.
