Description
The Red Albino Western Hognose Baby is a distinctive, captive-bred morph for the intermediate to advanced keeper looking for a unique display animal. Its vibrant red and orange patterning against a clean white background makes it a standout. We’ve stocked this morph since early 2024, and it’s become a repeat favorite for collectors adding to their projects.

Your Questions Answered
What size enclosure does a baby hognose need?
A 10-gallon tank or equivalent plastic tub is sufficient. Provide a secure hide, a shallow water dish, and appropriate substrate like aspen bedding for burrowing. A small, regulated under-tank heater on one side is essential for thermoregulation.
Will the red coloration change as it grows?
Yes. The red and orange hues typically become richer and more saturated with each shed. The contrast between the pattern and the white background remains a key feature into adulthood.
Are these snakes handled before shipping?
Yes. Our team performs a health check and brief handling for photography. This minimal, calm interaction helps ensure you receive a snake that is accustomed to human presence, aiding in a smooth transition to its new home.
