They are 403'ing on the default user-agent of requests...

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs

def c_acc(s):
    acc = s.get(
        'https://wellgosh.com/customer/account/create/',
        headers={'User-Agent': "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.81 Safari/537.36"}
    )
    soup = bs(acc.text, 'html.parser')
    formkey_acc = soup.find('input', {'name': 'form_key'}).get('value')
    print(formkey_acc)

s = requests.session()
c_acc(s)
