now pursey is one of my best friends :-D and i am still a little frightened of him :lol: but we could make arrangements :p pursey is my western hognose and SUPER ADORABLE :-D got him off the internet, by next season he would be ready to spawn, he might have a chance of 50%? albino in him ;-) and he hangs out with ball pythons (not my brother kngsnake you know why ;-)) everyone thinks he looks like a rattlesnake :| and HE DOES has venom but not deadly (you know why am a little afraid ) but it is rare for hognoses to ever bite :) now these pics are pursey with my older brother's pinstripe:-D
also these pics are from a fuji camera, good quality :

pursey the one above and scythe the one on the bottom

Hognoses are cute! :) Don't worry..their fangs are in the back of their mouths, they can't even inject venom unless they chew on you for a while, and even then it's like a bee sting(some people don't even get affected that much by it), and as long as you follow his body movements you will learn when he is stressed or not. :) I've never been bitten by either of my snakes (yet) but I understand how you can be nervous at first. Took me a few weeks to really fall in love with my maru baby<3 :)

Might I say that is a stunning pinstripe ball python as well! (is it just pinstripe or is it a spinner? I can never tell!)

well we have a snake that used to be scared of mice XD i think she got over it though, thanks you guys :) pursey is awsome i will love to breed him, it's just that we don't have a hognose female :p am not a professional at breeding snakes only my big brother knows :) i told him if he wants to breed pursey it's fine by me
also hognoses do not have a smooth feeling like pythons or kingsnakes or so there more bumpy feeling :)

thanks JBosley :) my brother is looking forward to spawning him :p i just love him (i call him baby cakes a lot LOL) but pursey is a calm boy (sometimes), and he loves to look around (he's very curious) i left him on my bed a while i was cleaning since he really had no where to go on my bed he mostly was moving around, until he pooped i put back XD

Oh...Piglet never bit. He always "threatened" by puffing up. I thought it was pretty funny when he tried to get all big to scare me off. Never worked. :lol: He was always fine when I actually picked him up. He was actually a really cool snake. He passed away a couple of years ago.

he has just the cutest eyes x3 and thanks, sometimes he just stares at me for a very long time, it kinda creeps me out :lol: my brother said i was lucky for getting pursey, because hognose's could be really mean :p am not sure about it, but that's what he said.
