The Western Hognose is a tiny snake that lives in meadows, prairies, and rocky, arid terrain in North America. They are typically light brown-tan in color, with dark brown patches running down the body and s

ome bigger dark brown patterns around the head. Hognose is a 'het snow,' which means it has the appearance of a wild variety but bears the genes of a'snow' Hognose, which is pale grey-white in color. Their shovel-like nose, which is turned up on their face, distinguishes them. Hognose are a unique breed that can be difficult to tame due to their feistiness and noisy nature, yet they are frequently handled in the pet trade. Because they are active during the day, you will see plenty of them.

Burrowing is a crucial behavior of this species, hence loose substrate should be provided in a deep layer to allow them to do so. A sand-soil mix, such as Arcadia's Earthmix Arid, is an excellent example of a substrate that won't hold too much humidity but will keep its shape when burrowed in to create tunnels, while other options may have similar features. We recommend a 3x2x2'/90x60x60cm vivarium to accommodate this snake's active lifestyle.

𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠
A basking lamp or ceramic heat emitter at one end of the vivarium will provide the best basking potential in your setup. Even though this species is completely terrestrial, it is still necessary to cover the bulb with a guard because they are curious snakes.

I'm loving my this our girl! She is super active and seems very inquisitive. Always exploring and moving around and has a great disposition. She has eaten everytime she has been offered food. She ate 2 pinkies last feeding so she was moved up to an appropriate sized hopper and ate like a champ!

“Do you not want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently.

“You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.”

This was invitation enough.

“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”

“What is his name?”

“Bingley.”

“Is he married or single?”

“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!”

“How so? How can it affect them?”

“My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.”

This 2 year old beauty (Sable PH Albino-Toffee Belly) was posted back in Dec and was weighing 230 gms. We didn't brumate her as she was just under 200 gms when her roommates when into deep freeze. We paired her as a "what the heck, nothing to lose". Didn't realize she was gravid, so there was no lay box for her. One of those "scratch your head" moments when we opened her bin this morning!!! 🐍
