Seriously sexy little hogs there! They are marked so much like nice southern hogs. Really cool in situ shots. I have still never found a live one in the wild. The curse lives on!

I agree that one is very nicely marked and colored. What region is this from?

Very nice looking hogs Robert. I really like the look of the second one. I've been out a few times the last 2 weeks and haven't seen much of anything.

Re: Heterodon platirhinos
You haven't seen an eastern hog in the wild yet? You need to come out here to Hays, they're moving on the roads here. I found my first ones this year, actually. Now I need a western.Herp Ninja wrote:Seriously sexy little hogs there! They are marked so much like nice southern hogs. Really cool in situ shots. I have still never found a live one in the wild.

Those actually look like the one I found yesterday. Very awesome snakes.

Westerns have always been harder to find for me. I have only seen three Westerns in the wild. Two were very small YoY.

Re: Heterodon platirhinos
I have technically seen one western in the wild, it was at last year's fall KHS trip. Some snot nosed kid cut in front of where I was flipping, flipped my next rock in line, and found a county record western hognose! I'm so disgusted by it that I'm not counting it on my life list. Ask Hubbs, he was there.
Edit: I forgot to mention that this kid wouldn't let me photo the snake either.

all,
thanks for the compliments, these were from Montgomery co, TX near houston.
I can't ever remember finding two in a morning or even a day.
