Albino Western Hognose Snake Overview
Albino Western Hognose Snake is feeding weekly and healthy. The albino Western hognose snake is a color mutation of the small and robust new world colubrid.
The males rarely exceed 20 inches in length and are a great pet snake. Our baby albino hognose snake are full of personality and make great pets.

Behavior of Albino Western Hognose Snake
When threatened, Albino Western Hognose Snake will hiss, flatten their necks and raise their heads off the ground like cobras. They sometimes feign strikes, but actual Heterodon bites are very rare. This behaviour has earned them local common names such as “puff adder”, “blowing adder”, “flathead”, “spreadhead”, “spreading adder” or “hissing adder”.
Note: For Heterodon, “puff adder” is a common name inconsistent with established usage. “Puff adder” is the accepted common name of Bitis arietans, an unrelated, dangerously venomous African species of viper, which incidentally does not flatten its neck in any threat display.
If this threat display fails to deter a would-be predator, Heterodon species often roll onto their backs and play dead, going so far as to emit a foul musk and fecal matter from their cloaca (in liquid form) and let their tongues hang out of their mouth, sometimes accompanied by small droplets of blood.
If they are rolled upright while in this state, they will often roll back as if insisting they really are dead. It has been observed that the snake, while appearing to be dead, will still watch the threat that caused the death pose. The snake will ‘resurrect’ sooner if the threat is looking away from it than if the threat is looking at the snake.
They are rather timid snakes and commonly hide from predators by burrowing down into leaves, sand

My snake came alive and well. She’s really shy and pulls her head back a lot but I’m sure that she’ll mellow out in a little bit. I’m only giving this review a 4 star because I asked them a question on Facebook when I got my snake and never got a response. That was 2 days ago. But the service here is good, my snake is perfect and I love her to death.

I got her friday. Unboxed her for my daughter & she was very happy. The baby pastel was very healthy & extremely tame. Love how the animal came with the card explaining birth date, what it eats & everything. I fed her a mouse today, she accepted it quickly. Great feeder! Will definitely buy from buyreptileonline.com again.

I added a review yesterday of this snake, however, she hadn’t shown up yet, and I was ranting on fedex. Well my baby Lagatha just showed up, one day late, but that wasnt buyreptileonline.com fault. Her heat pack was still warm. She is very healthy, if a little upset over the long delivery, and extremely beautiful. I’ll be giving fedex another opportunity to get a shipment right when I order my Mojave and pinstripe. At least the Mojave will come from buyreptileonline.com
