Here is a publication which might help explain the differences: http://logojoe.com/snakes/heterodon_kennerlyi.pdf
I believe it is to do with the scales on the head.

Courtesy of Wikipedia, the Mexican hognose's official name is Heterodon kennerlyi, as opposed to the Western which is Heterodon nasicus. So there is obviously some difference between the two, but there isn't any more detail on Wiki about what the differences might be! It'd be great to see some pics so we can see what the Mexican variety looks like |
