Reptiles, June 2006, The Southern Hognose Snake

 I chose to write about this reptile artical because i wanted to learn more about the Southren Hogsnakes. I like this article because it provided many information of where their found and what they find to eat. It also provided many pictures so you can get an idea of what they look like. Also everything was in deapth detail. , and It wasnt a boring article.  I've learned that you can find them in notrth america, west of the mississippi river to the rocky mountains and from above the canadian border to below the mexican border. They also are a small snake, and come in different types of colors. Hognose snakes are not that hard to maintain as well. I quetioned myself asking if theis snakes are extinced. i wouldnt want to purchese one because im not the biggest snake guy out their but i like handeling them. the current market price is from $50 to $250 depending on the morphs. heres a site; http://www.hognoses.co.uk/?cat=4. Their are 4 different color morphs. They are not endangerd in the wild. Their are no special capativity with theis snakes at the moment. The care requirment sare making it a safe home, an appropriate cage for its size, fresh water and food, just some little maintence because theis snakes are a beginner pet to keep. The most interesting thing about this snake it the little sharp tip on the front of their nose.
