    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I am just curious

Are you speaking of any particular species, or hognose snakes as a whole? Really, in either case, the answer is generally the same: supply and demand. Hognose are getting more and more popular by the season, so more people are interested in getting them. Popularity and desire = high demand.
Likewise, those with the snakes (aka breeders, wholesalers, dealers, etc) represent the supply, and because of the high demand, they are able to keep the prices high because quite simply, people are willing to pay those prices. Seriously, if you were selling a product, and your customers (or the majority of them) are still willing pay a certain price for it, would you lower the price? Probably not, unless you had an unusually large supply you had to move. This is the principle of supply and demand. If there is high demand with limited supply (such as with most hognose snakes), the price will be higher. If you have a supply that is relatively greater than the demand (i.e. lots of any item that few people desire), then the price goes down.
 
Last post was spot on + many for sale are morphs or hets and those command higher prices. I suggest shopping around and seeing any deals u like . i did the same and have a good starter group of hogs now .
