Re: A few Eastern Hognose pics...and EGGS!!
Congrats man! Hognoses are one of the most personable snakes I've ever seen! Gorgeous melanistic you have too. Good luck!

Congrats on the eggs (but those would be CH instead of CBB wouldn't they?) Thats a real black beauty you've got there too. I find it incredible the spectrum of colors you can find in eastern hogs.

Well, I've always considered breeding a year round type of thing including cycling the females and the males and preparing them for breeding through the winter as well as in the spring. Since this was a wild caught female with wild caught males during their normal breeding season, I would personally call them CH, but it's an interesting distinction. The real trick will be getting her to breed again next year.
Regardless, the babies should be very interesting and hopefully easier to raise. Being incubated and hatched in captivity there should be no differences between CH and CBB

Great project Daniel. You just keep spreading out more and more! Good luck with the eggs, and btw, if you feel the need to part with a rodent feeder or two eventually, think of me.

Re: A few Eastern Hognose pics...and EGGS!!
How long does it take Eastern Hognose eggs to hatch anyway? Isn't it only about 45 days? Or am I thinking of something else?

Re: A few Eastern Hognose pics...and EGGS!!
Thanks everyone. All of them candled fertile, so hopefully I will have some more hognoses in a while. Incubation times vary for these dependant on temperature. I have read incubation temps anywhere between 75 and 88 deg. ranging between 45 days to 70 days. So for the most part I will check them ever other day once 40 days rolls around. I just set them out in my reptile room which is around 79-81, so we will see.
As far as these eggs are concerned...if I manage to hatch them, I know they will be CB(captive born)....that is all that really matters
Eastern hognose colors and patterns impress me alot more than the other hognoses. That is one of the main reasons I decided to go with easterns instead of the other species. The halloween eastern morph is one of the coolest snakes. I also hope that someone get another albino in captivity since their color is so much more extreame than westerns.
Here is a link to a site showing a pretty good diversity of eastern variations:
