Arctic Sable Het Mai Tai

This listing is for a young male Western Hognose snake (Heterodon nasicus), self-produced by the seller and hatched on July 25, 2025. Currently weighing 30 grams, this baby is being sold by Purple Turtle Technologies LLC, a verified seller based in Melissa, Texas.

The snake is described as an Arctic Sable, het Toffee Belly, combining an incomplete dominant Arctic gene with a recessive Sable gene, along with a het (carrier) status for the recessive Toffee Belly trait. The listing notes that the seller has included photos of the parents and clutch mates, along with pairing information, for buyers who want additional context on the animal's genetic background, though those specifics weren't detailed in the data provided here. The seller confirms that the exact animal pictured is the one being offered, supported by six photos.

This hognose is currently being fed live rats according to the seller. It is listed as not proven as a breeder and not designated as a pet-only animal. The seller does not indicate this snake has produced offspring or been used in a breeding program to date.

The price is listed at $350 USD, with local pickup in Melissa, Texas being the only shipping method noted, despite the seller's general description mentioning Fed Ex Hub shipping as included in pricing for their animals more broadly. Payment options include credit card and Cash App. Buyers may wish to confirm directly with the seller whether shipping is actually available for this specific snake despite the local-pickup-only designation, ask for clarification on the pairing and parentage details mentioned in the full listing, verify current feeding schedule and readiness to transition to frozen-thawed prey if desired, and confirm exact length and any additional health or care details before completing a purchase.
