Re: Introducing my western Hognose (DUW)
Thanks guys ,
she is a really sweet natured hoggy now , but sometimes if she is in a bad mood she will act like a typical hog lol,
She acts all tough pretending she has a hood and also makes the rattler noise lmao , when i first got her a couple years ago she even feigned death... she flipped over upside down - mouth gaping with her tounge hanging out! , wish i got a photo of that because she is so chilled out now i doubt she will ever do that again which is a good thing really :)
Re: Introducing my western Hognose (DUW)
Oh i forgot to mention last month she laid 12 unfertalized eggs :eek:
ive had her for over 2 years now coming up 3 years next march , and i have never bred her , i never knew they could retain sperm that long :confused:
i put them in the incubator anyway just incase any were viable but i wont hold my breath on that
Re: Introducing my western Hognose (DUW)
Hoggies have the cutest pushed in noses! She's lovely! :D And the eggs thing is crazy!
Re: Introducing my western Hognose (DUW)
Those are some of the best hoggy pics I've ever seen! Especially the third one...that's my fav! :D She's adorable!!
Re: Introducing my western Hognose (DUW)
Great shots. I'd love to get a hoggie someday.
Re: Introducing my western Hognose (DUW)
That's it... I want one. Too cool to not get one.
Re: Introducing my western Hognose (DUW)

Re: Introducing my western Hognose (DUW)

Re: Introducing my western Hognose (DUW)
Thanks guys , shes adorable aint she? i originally bought her as a male and only found out she was a female after she laid those eggs lol, anyway the eggs dont look to good at the moment , ill let them run the course just incase but i dont think i will be greeted by any baby hoggies this time :( , next expo im gonna have a look out for a nice sized male for her :D :carrot:
Re: Introducing my western Hognose (DUW)
How cute is that!!!! I wonder why they call them hognose?!?! Thanks for sharing
Re: Introducing my western Hognose (DUW)
cos they have upturned snouts :D It gives them the distinctive look, which is why they are called hognose snakes... afaik that is :)
i think the westerns have the most upturned snout of all , dont quote me on that thou :)
