My local pet store just got a Tri-color hognose...it looks exactly like an Eastern Kingsnake (sometimes called a Chain King),,,same markings and coloration but without a doubt a hognose,,,,upturned snout,,,rollover and fake dead. Has anyone ever seen or heard of these ?? I searched the net and found little to nothing. I was curious if these are hybrid king/hog or if they occur naturally. I'll go back and take some pics to post.

I've heard of it and I know you can buy them in the UK, but that's abuot all I know.
There is an HC member who has one or two but I cannot for the life of me remember who!

Looks like Joao beat me to it. They're a South American genus, not directly related to North American hognoses. Madagascar also holds a genus that goes by the name "hognose snake".
