Western hognose snake (Heterodon nasicus) Pink Punch
The Pink Punch is a unique variation of the Western Hognose Snake (Heterodon nasicus). Thanks to its distinctive appearance and active character, this species has remained one of the most popular snakes in the hobby. On this page you can learn more about the characteristics of the pink punch morph. For detailed information about care and housing, please refer to our comprehensive care sheet.
Description
Pink Punch is a combination of the recessive toffeebelly mutation and the homozygous incomplete dominant superarctic mutation. This combination is known for its brown to purplish tones and solid dark red eyes. Hatchlings are generally darker when they emerge and gradually become lighter in colour after successive sheds. The superarctic mutation influences both the background colour and the pattern, creating noticeable contrast between different colour areas. The influence of the toffeebelly mutation remains visible through warm golden brown, pinkish and purple hues.
