I agree that aspen is a great substrate for hognose. I don't like aspen at all, all my other snakes get coco coir, but for burrowers like hognose aspen is my favorite.
I'd also follow Deborah's advice on starting with a small enclosure. Deb knows her stuff and won't steer you wrong.
As of now, he's weighing in at a whopping 84 grams and seems to be taking a food break (hasn't eaten the last 3 weeks).

Re: Hognose shopping
Well brought home a ~3 month old female normal get albino. She was the biggest of the 7 that breeder had and 1 of only 11 total between both shows. She shed on the way home in one complete piece so that was nice. Weighs in at 8 grams. I was told she’s been on unscented f/t pinkies since hatching. Have her settling into a 2.7q tub about half filled with aspen chips. She has given me her most impressive cobra rattlesnake impression but no playing dead. Currently burrowing throughout the cage. Sorry for not attaching a picture but I’ll start a progression thread after her first meal.
Thanks for all the advice thus far.
