The Albino Hognose snake resides from Southern Canada through the United States to northern Mexico. It frequents areas with sandy or gravel soils, including floodplains, scrub and grasslands, semi-deserts and some semi agricultural areas.



Hognose Snakes are relatively small, stout-bodied snakes. Their colour and pattern is highly variable. Males are smaller than females, with adult lengths rarely exceeding 38-51 cm (15-20 inches). These snakes get their name from the shape of their nose that is formed in an upturned matter, providing a very “hog-like” look.



The Hognose Snake is non-venomous but possesses saliva that may cause symptoms such as slight swelling and itching.
