Western Hogsnose Pics

[Python-77]

Well I now have a awsome pair of Western Hognose snakes. I met up with another BP.net member today outside of austin and we did a snakeswap. I thought I would snap a few pics of them tonight.

Here is one of the female she was not willing to work with me.


Here are a few of the male he wasnt willing to work with me either but he could be bribed hehe.



Here is a pic of their enclosure

I am going to end up getting one of those guys one day I know of a CB hognose breeder here in LA that usually has some available.

I have a few questions about them:
Do they really loose their instintive defence mechanisms(puffing and playing dead) when the are captive? How are they to handle and care for?

[Python-77]

they have not puffed at me at all the female will hiss a little when I reach in to get her but she is cool once picked up.

The male above is a little thin. He should be eating much larger prey items than pinkies.

Western Hogs are very easy to care for....as long as you get an established feeder, you'll be fine.

Nice acquisitions - and great sourcing on those as well hehe.

he traded me his hogg isle boas for those......hogs for hoggs.
