I'm in the process of doing some longterm planning of how I want to build my collection, and a Hognose is definitely on my list. This includes thinking about how I'll set up my cages and how they will fit in the space I'm allocating, so I just want to make sure I have all my facts straight before I get too far down the rabbit hole.

Most caresheets I find say a 20 gallon long or a 28/32 qt tub is an appropriate enclosure for adults (specifically males). Would a 2'x2' PVC cage also work? It's got more floor space than a 20 gal when you calculate it out, but obviously it's a different shape and doesn't have as much length.

I tried asking this on Hognose groups on Facebook but I got so many inconsistent answers (some said it would be too big and others said it would be way too small lol), so I ended up more unsure than I was initially. Just wanted to get some input from those experienced with Hoggies and their needs to see if this would be appropriate, and if not, what sort of footprint would be desirable?

Thanks!
