    Well, first off, what are the temps in the cage? Hot side and cool side?


    Second, how old is she and how much does she weigh?

    Third, what are you feeding her, and how often?

    ambient is 80° hot side is 90-91° humidity fluctuates from 30%-40%

    shes 8 months old, weighs 10g

    1 frozen pinkie every 3-4 days

    Your temps sound ok, I typically keep my hognose with an ambient of 85 or so, so you could try bumping it up a little and see if it helps.

    Also, 10g seems pretty small for a 8 month old female, does she usually eat well or does she have a history of eating poorly?

    i got her in february and she took a couple weeks to start eating but since then shes been eating every time i offered food until a week ago. also before i got her the records the breeder had showed she ate perfectly fine.

    Also, when did she last shed? I’ve got a couple snakes (not hoggies) that I rarely realize are blue, so I only know when I find the finished shed.
