Buyer Notes: Saffron is a charismatic approximately 4-year-old male Hognose Snake, with a big personality packed into a small body. He is super active and loves watching the world around him, especially when people are busy working nearby. Saffron can get a little puffy when first handled, but once he settles down, his curious side shines through and he enjoys exploring his surroundings. One of his favorite things to do is prop his head up on his hides and watch the activity around him. With his entertaining personality and curious nature, Saffron is sure to keep his future owner smiling!
Minimum enclosure size: 4x2x2 feet

All animals have been seen by UTCVM and have a clean bill of health.

Laboratory testing for snakes includes testing for Cryptosporidium serpentis (Cs) and Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola (Oo) and costs approximately $40 per animal. This testing is included in the adoption fee. We also spend an average of $250 on veterinary care for each rescue we take in to ensure they receive the care they need.

Adoption fees are as listed, but if you would like to make an offer please reach out to [email protected]

Store Policy

The HTI Nationwide Herp Adoption Program is operated in collaboration with the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine (UTCVM). Prior to adoption approval, all animals are tested for select pathogens and receive a health check by UTCVM veterinarians. 


What are the steps for adoption?

1) Fill out the HTI adoption application

2) If you are approved for HTI adoptions (usually processed in 1-2 weeks), you can inquire about adoption for specific animals. Adoption of more than one animal is allowed if proper enclosures are prepared.

3) When inquiring about animals available for adoption, the HTI will consider your level of experience and the amount required for a particular animal. Some of our adoptions require more experience and resources for care than others (see below).

4) If approved for an adoption and after an interview with staff, payment can proceed. Accepted forms of payment are Square and PayPal.

NOTE: All prices listed do not include shipping and handling. Adoptions will be shipped priority overnight on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday when weather conditions are favorable. Onsite pickup (Knoxville, TN) is free.


HTI animals are classified by the level of experience required for daily care. Your animal care level will be determined in the adoption approval process. The classifications are provided so that you can choose an animal you are qualified to adopt. The descriptions are as follows: 

  • Novice- this is your first amphibian or reptile, or less than one year of experience with care
  • Intermediate- at least 1.5 years of experience with 1-2 species of amphibians or reptiles
  • Expert- over 5 years of experience with over 3 species of amphibians or reptiles
  • Diamond- demonstrated ability to care for animals with special health needs
