    Huffy teenage phase?
    From the point I got my boy Wilbur (I know, most cliche name ever) as a hatchling back in November up until a few weeks ago, he was an absolute sweetheart, never once hissing, hooding, or mock striking at all. Very recently, however, he’s picked up all of these behaviors despite a solid feeding routine and regular handling since I got him. Will he ‘grow out’ of this, or is it just how all hognoses act? I was prepared for this prior to purchasing him and will adore him either way, but the change seems quite strange given his super calm demeanor as a baby (he’s 32g now, so far from adulthood).

    My male hoggie was little that as a youngster (quite and calm) and then once he started to mature he started huffing and puffing more but still had a calm deposition to him handling wise. I have always known hoggies to be all huff and bluff, but there are the old balls that can be very pissy and strike at you... Overall, an awesome little snake!!

    That's what they do at any age really, the good news is that it's all bluff.
