Can we all just agree that hognose eating is ridiculously adorable?

These things are hilarious!! LOL, I had to youtube hognose, as I've never really seen the difference in their sizes. Then came across this...lol

(the guy doing the video, was just showing off what the hognose does for protection)
I love these snakes now.

Harassing coleslaw is great fun though! :D

No one answered my question though lol. Is it normal for hoggie owners to hand feed? Is this like some secret club that i dont know about??

I fed my adult male by hand its just fun that way.

I realized that moments after I posted, but couldn't find the edit button muahaha :P

And I know other people do it, not sure if it's all the time like me though! Sauron seems to prefer if he gets it from me... with tongs or leaving it in his bin, it takes him forever (sometimes a few hours) for him to decide to eat. When it's in my hand, he beelines for it :love:

Thats odd but pretty cool. They dont strike ever?

I used to hand feed my hog, and I have to say I've never seen such voracious eaters. Less than 30 seconds and it's gone!

From my experience, they don't tend to strike as much as they just meander on up to the prey. My male usually will rest his head on the food for a couple of moments before deciding to take a bite and chow down.

Nope, don't strike. Just slither up to it, poke it with his nose, and start eating.

You named your hoggie Sauron... :)
