New! Looking for Hognose

[FordeHorde]

Hi! I am new here and looking to purchase a Hognose snake for my 13-year-old son. He is thinking he may want to go into Herpetology when he grows up. He has had a Leopard Gecko and a salamander but is wanting to get a snake. After doing much research he decided on a Hognose. His hope is to eventually get a breeding pair but he wants to start out with one so he can learn more about them and feel confident with it before getting into breeding. Let me know who sells Hognoses and how I can get in touch with them. Thanks!

Hi! I am new here and looking to purchase a Hognose snake for my 13-year-old son.

Glad I am not the only one, who, as a teen wanted a snake.

He is thinking he may want to go into Herpetology when he grows up.

That is very very cool.

He has had a Leopard Gecko and a salamander but is wanting to get a snake.

I am guessing, he took care of them for the most part. Which, I did at his age too. It might be worth mentioning, he, might not "grow out" of this "phase". I most defiantly did not. I grew "into it" .

After doing much research he decided on a Hognose.

I can't say I blame him, that is a fantastic species. For both new keepers and the most advanced hobbyists.

His hope is to eventually get a breeding pair but he wants to start out with one so he can learn more about them and feel confident with it before getting into breeding.

Sounds like a very reasonable plan, in my humble opinion.

Let me know who sells Hognoses and how I can get in touch with them. Thanks!

I would recommend a simple Google search and looking at this portion of Fauna: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=502
Hope that was somewhat helpful. Looking forward to hearing about your son and his new specimen soon.
