| Description
Author: Nicole Johns |
The range of the western hognose is quite
broad and covers most of the North American grasslands. According to University of Texas
Herpetological research the distribution is from Minnesota to southeastern Alberta and
south to New Mexico. There are isolated colonies in Manitoba, Minnesota and Iowa.
Intergrades between nasicus and gloydi (dusty hognose) occur in Kansas, Oklahoma and
northwestern Missouri. Isolated colonies exist in sand prairies of western Illinois and
adjacent Iowa. The figure below represents all the counties in Texas where western hognose
have been found.
