I have available the following Heterodon spp.:
1.0.0 LTC’23 Heterodon kennerlyi*, collected by an acquaintance south of Route 9 in New Mexico. 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. 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).
All photos and weights taken on 05 November 2025, and I have 3-5 more photos of each specimen taken at the same time.
$1,100 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**, for $100, or $75 within Pennsylvania. I have been transporting since 03 November 2020, having started my 67th itinerary yesterday the 4th, and I am a USDA Class T Carrier with Pet Care Insurance.
*These are the two (2) that are proven. 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. They bred for the first time this year and produced three (3) eggs, only one (1) of which hatched, but it is a ‘super baby’! Took an unscented, F/T peach fuzzy on the first attempt, just left in there, and had been eating one (1) unscented, F/T peach fuzzy every Sunday until graduating to two (2) unscented, F/T peach fuzzies this past Sunday the 2nd. ‘The Baby’ is NFS. But yes, first-time breeders (well, the female at least; don’t know if the male bred in the wild), and a female’s first clutch can be skimpy, but I also hadn’t cooled them as low as I usually do, last Winter, which results in lower fertility.
The Albino and “Arctic” Albino were paired as well for their first time, and she was gravid but absorbed her eggs (yes, this happens but is much more common with ovoviviparous species). Thus, these two are not proven (yet). Again, first-time breeders.
**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 years, venomous for 25 years, and been breeding for 29 years (breeding Heterodon nasicus since 2009, Leioheterodon modestus from 2017-20, H. kennerlyi since 2019, and Lystrophis pulcher since 2025).
