Thanks Jennifer! He is cute as a button but has the attitude of a ticked off 10 ft. Retic, lol.

Good thing he isn't as powerful as one! LOL..

Great looking hognose there.

Much nicer looking than the hognose I find around my property, they are so plain looking. But still a hognose and I have allways loved the hognose.

I'm not 100% positive about this, but I do not think Western Hognoses can be found in Illinois.....you may have found an Eastern Hognose. They are much different in coloration.

Yes I knew that, I just ment that it is much nicer than the plain looking hognose that I find around here.

Ahh, I see. Sorry for the mixup, lol.

thats a cool snake. are hognoses pretty easy to keep, and how are their personalities? I have been thinking of new additions to my collection that arent too big, but are interesting. And may I ask how much you got that one for? Sry for all the questions.

Western Hogs are very cool and easy lil snakes. They are generally veru docile as adults, but babies can be feisty, like mine is, lol. Here is a link to a good caresheet:

www.hognose.com/pages/care/west.htm

the page wouldn't load for me. Exactly how much to hognoses usually cost?

Hmmm....its not working for me either.....just go to google.com and type in 'western hognose care'.......I paid $50 for mine.....I have seen them cheaper at shows.

yeah, at the last show I was at I saw a nroma one for like 200.

Really!?!?! Thats pretty steep, lol. You can get adults usually for less than $100.

yep, it was a horrible show tho. this is funny, we are replying within like 2 minutes of eachother for all of these posts, you might as well come chat, I know I am there

my friend got one for 60 the other day at work. that's how i ended up with my new mexican black :)
