They’re not in the same genus as ours; I’m not even sure they’re all that closely related. They’re also called "false coral snakes." And, yes, I do want one. Every now and then when I feel like looking at things I can’t afford I search up information on them.

Reall? I’m not a snake expert but wouldn’t a false coral snake be a milksnake? And they look exactly like hognoses exept for the color. But, if you say so...

yeah they look a lot like a hog to me, but it isn’t lol. i just looked it up, but it also isn’t a false coral snake, they are a completely different species that live in costa rica and other tropical climates. a false corals scientific name is Anilus scytale scytale. and the tri color hog is Lystrophis Pulcher. so i think that’s just the called a tri color hog even though its not a member of the hog family. wow thats a little confusing lol:) but still a really cool snake!!

Look on kingsnake.com

No, they can’t breed together. Tricolors aren’t really a "hognose" like you would think of...they are in a different genus.
