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.

giant Hognoses
Leioheterodon madagascariensis - giant Malagasy hognose snake
Anyone here have experience with these guys? I used to own a pair, but had to give them up before I moved years ago. They were some awesome colubrids. Someday I'd like to get another pair and attempt a breeding project.
Here are some pics

They're wicked awesome. If you like large colubrids and/or hognoses, you'll love these guys. They top out around 6 ft. Beautiful coloration. My photos don't do them justice.

Friend of mine has a trio of the Giants and a pair of Speckleds. I thought I liked western Hognose and man oh man the Madagascar Species is WICKED. I have kept them numerous times. Never tried breeding them myself but hopefully this year or next we should have some CB Babies available of both the Giant and Speckled.

So what's the difference between the giant and the speckled? Is the speckled just a morph of the same species or is it something else? Also, what kind of prices do they go for? I could be interested...

well there is 3 different madagascar species.
LEIOHETERODON MADAGASCARIENSIS - Giant Hognose
LEIOHETERODON GEAYI - Speckled Hognose
LEIOHETERODON MODESTUS - Blonde Hognose
All are different in there own way. Giants of course are the biggest of them all. And I believe the blondes are the smallest. All awesome snakes. I am not sure what we will be pricing them at CBB. As you don't see them offered too much. But WC Sub adult to Adult specimens you can usually pick up for around the 80-120 dollar range a piece. Some being cheaper then others. But really cool species overall.
Difference between the giants and speckleds is mainly size. At Giants that get to 6ft+ and speckleds averaging out at 4ft. And they look totally different. Giants usually have a really dark tone black or dark brown coloration. The speckleds are usually light brown or tan.

Havent noticed anything about aggression, but they are mildy venomous. They really have to chew on ya to seriously en-venomate you though. A really nasty bite is probably comparable to a bad bee/wasp sting.
