🐍 Morph Overview & Lifespan
Albino Western Hognose Snakes carry a recessive albino trait that eliminates melanin, resulting in light coloration and photophobia (light sensitivity). They typically grow to 14–24 inches and have a lifespan of 15–18 years or more in proper conditions (sources turn0search1, turn0search8, turn0search10). Their expressive defensive behaviors—like flattening the head, bluff‑strikes, and playing dead—make them both entertaining and memorable companions (turn0search4, turn0search10).

🏡 Husbandry Essentials
Enclosure Size:
-
Juveniles: use 20–30 gallon tanks
-
Adults: a minimum of 36 × 18 × 18 inches to enable burrowing behavior (turn0search9, turn0search6, turn0search8)
Temperature & Lighting:
-
Provide a basking area of 85–90°F, with cooler zones at 70–75°F; night lows should not dip below 60°F (turn0search4, turn0search6)
-
Albinos are sensitive to bright light, so avoid strong UVB exposure; low-level diffused or indirect heat is preferred (turn0reddit19, turn0reddit14, turn0reddit18)
Substrate & Décor:
-
Use loose, burrowable substrate (e.g. aspen or sand‑soil mix), at least 4 inches deep (turn0search4, turn0search7)
-
Provide hides at both ends and a shallow water dish for soaking (turn0search0, turn0search9)
Humidity:
-
Maintain relative humidity around 30–50%, raising it during shed cycles using a moist hide (turn0search4, turn0search8)
Feeding & Behavior
-
Juveniles: feed pinky mice every 5–7 days
-
Adults: feed adult mice once per week or every 10–14 days (turn0search3, turn0search2)
-
Avoid handling for 24–48 hours post-feeding to prevent regurgitation
Handling & Special Albino Care
Albino Western Hognose Snakes generally tolerate gentle handling when raised from hatchlings. Their unique defensive displays add to their charm, and they rarely bite. Because albinos lack eye pigmentation, they are more sensitive to direct light, so their enclosure should include shaded options to minimize stress (turn0search4, turn0reddit19, turn0reddit15).
