i have a male hoggie and i just looooove him... a really great snake with lots of personality and energy! not like a ball who will sit there and relax... my hoggie wants UP - UP higher! yesterday during his 'outside time' he climbed a tree... every single branch was investigated till he got to the top and then he choose the branch he liked the best and went to sleep.
4 hours later we brought him down! he hissed like crazy (hissing is his way of communicating... means nothing but he looooves to do it!) kinda sounded like air being released from a near by tire LOL
