Western Hognose

Does anyone have any experiance with Western Hognose snakes? I have read alot about them and I think they are fascinating snakes. We do have Eastern Hognose snakes in our area, but I have yet to come across one while out field herping.

I keep a male Western, he is great stays small and is a character when it comes to handling him, he never bites or strikes but will give you his best cobra impression when you reach in and pick him up. He is a great eater does a small mouse weekly for me with no problems

Thanks for the input Sean! I am hopeing to pick one up inthe next month or so. Any suggestions you might have would be appreciated. Thanks again.

They are neat little snakes.. make sure whoever you get one from has it eating unscented mice, because these guys eat frogs/toads in the wild and babies usually have to be weaned off of scented pinks.

Thanks Shelby. I will be very careful and do my homework before getting one. Also I will have to check for a good shop to have one shipped from as there are none in my area that deal with anything other than your "standard" in-home herps.
