    My First Hoggie
    Long story short I decided to move away from ball pythons and into something more unique, something most people don't even know about. So I decided to move into hoggies.

    About 2 weeks ago I found an albino male, under a year old for sale somewhat local for $600.....I offered fair market value of $175 and held my ground at that. Plus there was a reptile show yesterday I had been anticipating and was hoping to snag a hog there, but alas there was no one selling hoggies at all. So back to the male I kept looking at on Craigslist, and finally got him to take $175.


    So after picking him up from the old owner I set out to get him properly setup. He was in a very dirty 6qt tub with just a wadded up paper towel and a water bowl. Not even 1 vent hole in tub either. Now he is in an Iris 13qt tub with at least an inch of aspen bedding and lots of ventilation.

    To move on with the story he is a bit on the thinner looking side so today I fed him some small f/t pinkies. He took 2 and wanted more but I figured best to hold off a day or 2. Definitely has an amazing feeding response which makes me even happier. I just can't wait to get a few more of these guys and get some good pairings going
