I've not taken any of the albino's or het extra reds just the normal/greens and hets, not brave enough yet to mess with the ablino's and camera lol.

07 female poss green hypo - juries still out on her too much belly colouring for hypo to me, will have to check her next shed see what if any colourings show thru.


08 female green het albino

07 Het albino female


Sold as 08 normal female think there's more to her than normal

Sold as 08 Mexican male - close up facial scales aren't right for mexican, works nicely with the above female so no worries

08 Homegrown male 1, have used the same father with my gravid female about to lay so interesting to see what that combination produces

08 Homegrown male 2 sib to above

Depends on who you're talking to it seems coz I asked the very same question lol.

There are differences in facial scale counts. Female sold as normal and the mexican male both have the scale under their eyes that say mexican but don't have the scale pattern above the snout. As they are thought to be very rare in the hobby with few stateside believing there are any genuine mexicans about I'm opting for the non mexican.

Take a read and look, very interesting article and pics.

From what I can gather there is talk about it but hognose babies change so much as they age I think again their is no agreement of oppinons that I can find.

Take a look at this little lot cuttingedge again and see what you think - hets and albino's such a variety of colour differences in both!
