Thinking about getting into hognoses!
Like the title says! Lol (western hognoses specifically)
I've never kept colubrids before so I'm a noob. I've done basic research on them but still have some questions.
How big do males and females have to be to be considered "breeding size" ?
And how long on average does it take the males and females to get to breeding size?
What are your opinions on hogs? So far from what I can tell, I'll love them

I swear it's seemed like our hoggie hasn't grown in forever, but he has. I can't help with breeding size, but they are adorable and definitely have little personalities! They'll huff and puff and think they're all tough.
Love them!
Reach for the stars, and if you don't grab them at least you'll fall on top of the world.

Breeding size-females 250 gram minimum with 300 gram the best and males 60 grams----ExtremeHogs.com
As far as growth rate i've had mine for 6 months from a baby till now 5 grams to 38 grams if that's any indication.
As far as opinion mine is the goofiest and neatest snake i own lol. My wife thinks he hates her though cause he starts his tough guy act every time she gets close

Males 45 to 60 grams, Females 250 grams
And how long on average does it take the males and females to get to breeding size?
Males reach that size in their first year, females take about 2 years.

My good friend breeds them and he's the one that got me interested in them. Might get an albino boy and a het albino girl from him just to try my hand at breeding them.

My little man is a photographer. How's that for a personality!?
He seems a bit thin to me after a feeding strike. He'll get back on track.
