Hi guys,

I currently have 2 retics, 1 afrock, 1 ball and a leopard gecko. I'm still doing my research on Western Hogs, and while I'm at it, would like to ask a few questions.

1) I live in "retic country" (aka, retics are native in my country). Will I have any temp/humidity problems caring for a hognose, either imported (don't worry, not WC; some herpers here are generous to take our orders and then they order thru a reputable breeder such as BHB/Bobclark) or CB here?

2) Are captive W. hognoses known to have "quirks"? When I'm in quirks, let's take the retic for example. Most retic owners know that they are notorious for cage pushing. Do Western Hognoses have similar/other quirks?

3) Based on what I've read, nobody's been tagged by a Western hognose snake (except during feeding...but the link I once saw sorta FORCED the hog to tag him). I take it that I don't have to be say...as "defensive" when approaching my hog than say...when I'm approaching my afrock?

Thanks for the help in advanced. Go easy on me. We've never seen hognoses here coz until very recently, the Philippine herping community has always been "Burmese python territory"
