    Substrate/UTH Question
    I found a Western Hognose on Craigslist bringing my collection to three. Nowhere near as impressive as many of the collections on here but it works for me. Anymore and I will prob find myself single again. Lol!

    I prefer the naturalistic terrarium and going with that I'm using the Eco-Earth coconut shavings. It looks great and she has been burrowing through it since I got her home. I have the climbing log on the bottom of the tank to prevent it from falling in the event of a cave in.

    Any cons to using this with a hog? She really seems to like it. I just hope she comes up from time to time so I can see her.

    I Also wanted to know if yall use uth for yours? It doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Mine burrows to the bottom and sleeps there. You can see her through the glass. Many of the care sheets I read suggested it though, I'm heating the Lil tank to the target zone with no problem.

    Sleeping
    Maybe snake owners are like their snakes. The ball owners are up and the hog owners are sleeping. HaHa!

    I use a UTH for mine with cypress mulch. No problems with it.

    What temp do you keep the uth at? Does yours burrow and lay on it?
