    What do you use to house your hognoses?
    Since everyone else seems to be doing it i might as well jump off the bridge too.
    I was curious to see how everyone housed their hognoses. I'll set up some pictures of my cages, soon. I was wondering if people use racks, or aquariums, or even some custom cages. All styles and types welcome!

    I use all the above. Depends on the species and so on. My giants were in custom 24x24 with large hides and lights.

    I have a male Western. He's in a 10 gallon aquarium with a ton of aspen. He likes to burrow in it. I use to put in a hide box, but its pretty much pointless since he is always buried.

    As promised!

    The custom vivariums house (from the top): Three mexican hognoses, Three western hognoses, Currently two ball pythons.
    They're wired (the cages) with 3" flexwatt on the bottom and a a dimmer switch rheostat on the sides. All are connected to emergency 'on/off' thermometers just in case :D

    These are my larger cages. From the top: Red Tail Boa, Two bearded dragons, and the blue thing hold my Russian Tortoises.

    It's all organized clutter, eh?

    I use the same shelving unit, but I don't own hognoses. It's great when you need to rearrange and adjust the shelf heights. :gj: Great looking setup.

    I wish I had a whole room to devote to my snakes.

    I don't really suggest keeping two ball pythons in one cage.

    Just FYI.

    Nice set-ups though.

    I know :D They aren't happy otherwise. They will go off feeding completely if i separate them. I had them apart for about 3 months and they ate nothing so i put em back and BAM they start feeding again. They're two brothers, same clutch.
    I do the same with my females in NJ (snakes, not like different ho's in area codes or anything like that) :D Once they start eating small size mice i separate them.
    Thanks for the concern, though!

    :-D yeah, i love these shelves! I swear i rearrange everything at least once every six months.
    Sadly, this reptile setup is not only in my rat room, but it's also my bedroom :O I have no room for anything at all, that's why my elliptical machine is crowding in on the pictures, lol.
    I wish i had a snake/rodent room! I'd be in boid heaven, except without the dying and repentance stuff.:bow:

    I live in a one bedroom apartment so I know what it's like to share my living space with snakes and rodents. Luckily I don't mind. :D

    I use standard glass terrariums. Interestingly enough, the company that produced my terrarium is an almost entirely aquarium-fish product company, but this is one of their few reptile items.
