I have available the following Heterodon and Lystrophis spp.:
1.0.0 LTC’23 Heterodon kennerlyi, collected by an acquaintance south of Route 9 in New Mexico. Proven breeder.[1] 124 grams. First photo.
1.0.0 CBB’23 Heterodon nasicus, Albino, produced by Jason Yaklich. 142 grams. Second photo.
0.1.0 CBB’23 Heterodon nasicus, Normal, breeder unknown. Proven breeder.[1] 209 grams. Third photo.
0.1.0 CBB’22 Heterodon nasicus, “Arctic” Albino, produced by John D. Mullen. 339 grams. Fourth photo (no; those are not mites; they are Eco Earth and pigmentation).
1.1.0 LTC’24 Lystrophis pulcher, acquired from Strictly Reptiles in early April 2024. Laid two (2) clutches last year but which I missed due to being on the road so much (259 days last year); she may be gravid again and awaiting deposition with a nesting box (I have videos of immediate courting, so they likely bred again). Fifth (male) and sixth (female) photos.
All photos and weights of the Heterodon taken on 05 November 2025, and I have 3-5 more photos of each specimen taken at the same time. Photos of the Lystrophis taken on 27 October 2024 (clearly, the female had just eaten); I will try to get updated ones, as well as weights (and updated weights for the Heterodon).
*****
$1,500 takes the group, which is the accumulative total of what I paid, or individual prices can be discussed.
Transport via Obscure Gems Reptiles, LLC, which is my own animal n’ pet transport company,[2] for $125, or $100 within Pennsylvania. I have been transporting since 03 November 2020, heading into my 73rd itinerary on May 13, and I am a USDA Class T Carrier.

Notes
[1] These are the two (2) that are proven to each other. Yes, I decided to hybridize the 1.0.0 Heterodon kennerlyi with the Normal 0.1.0 H. nasicus because I couldn’t find a mature 0.1.0 H. kennerlyi in time last year, and I stuck with the arrangement this year. They bred for their first time in 2025 and again this year; she should be laying soon.
The Albino and “Arctic” Albino were paired as well in 2025 and 2026 (first-time breeders), and she was gravid last year but absorbed her eggs (yes, this happens but is much more common with ovoviviparous species). Thus, these two are not proven (yet), but she may lay as well this year.
[2] My specialty is venomous reptiles, I am well-known in the venomous circle, and You can check out my itinerary ads on the Venomous page of this site, but I take plenty of nonvenomous as well. I have kept serpents for 34.5 years, venomous for >25 years, and been breeding for 29.5 years (breeding Heterodon nasicus since 2009, Leioheterodon modestus from 2017-20, H. kennerlyi since 2019, and Lystrophis pulcher since 2025).
