They are really nice looking :gj:

Ha I know! I saw them the first time in person at a exotic pet store and was really taken back. I didnt realize they were so small. I had though my 100 gram bp was small!

Nice little hogs. They're short but can still be little fatties.

Yea they are small little ones for sure :P.

Small but its AMAZING how big of prey they can swallow!!

CUUUUUUTE! ;)

BPs are one of the bigger hatchlings out there, ESPECIALLY in relation to adult size! :P

When we got our female rainbow boa, she was 35g, and I assume not exactly fresh out of the egg.

So cute and tiny! :) Funny story, my hognose (Charlotte) was shipped from Georgia, and when the box arrived I anxiously ripped it open... I was throwing aside the packaging, and it seemed there was no snake in the box. I said to my roommate "where is she??" and she responded, "I think she's in that snake bag you just threw out." Lo and behold, she was in there - all 19g of her, so small I thought the bag was empty! :D Three months later she weighs nearly 60g, so they do grow fast and eat like PIGS.

Anyway, congrats on your new additions... I'm sure you will love them! Charlotte is one of my favorite snakes now, and has the sweetest temperament ever. I hope to get her a mate eventually, or maybe a pair of morph (red?) hoggies to breed.

That is true! I offered her a fuzzy (when she was smaller) that I was sure was too big, once I laid it down next to her... but it was in her jaws before I could remove it, and boy was I surprised to see her gulp it down. :O She's now comfortably eating fuzzies, but could probably take down a hopper without hesitation.

can anyone point out about black belly markers on hognose?

i stumble upon a website before, that a black belly is something.

Hey Ed, those are normal looking bellies, they can be solid or have some kinda like checkerboard to them of orange like color...Small is definitly right weighing in about 4-5 grams at hatching..But their little piggies and grow fast, they also don't shed as much as others and really stretch the skin before shucking it..ENJOY..

Ed , it says your on the 3rd largest island in the world, Borneo, Got any pictures of the native snakes..:D, The Borneo pythons ?? The animals that we are SOO crazy about..

Black bellies are a normal trait in Western Hoggies.

ED, I am addicted to Python Brietensteini,,:D they are the focus of our attention..I have a thread titled "Love my Borneos" in the Blood section..
We also have 11 hognoses which we enjoy greatly with their comical nature..
If you happen to have any local pictures of the Brietensteini we'd LOVE to see them..
Thank you,
Tim..
