this just put me massively at ease cause the heating was my main concern, i bought a heating pad n thermostat for a 40 gal breeder cause i initially planned on getting a BP but hogs are irresistible to me. i can ship the mat back but ill keep the jumpstart thermostat n thermometer. which is better, aspen shavings or aspen chips? also how do i provide light?

Shavings is better for hognose it really allows them to bury themselves a little more easily especially when they are very small.

alright thank you! ill definitely consider that. a small enclosure is a lot easier for me anyways cause im probably moving in 6-8 months. and itll help me with maintaining low humidity.

OP, you're in good hands with Deborah. She helped me get an 11 gram trouble eater eating like a champ. When he came to me he had only eaten a few meals and was TINY. Now, 9 months later, he's almost 60 grams, has only refused twice and is an awesome little member of the family. Follow Deborah's advice and you'll be in great shape.

Good luck with your hognose, they're seriously adorable little snakes.

Everyone reacts differently of course , someone who's hypersensitive to chemicals / tastes and fumes etc should be very wary of them in case the unthinkable happens. ..

It would but if this is the sticky type I don't recommend it because once you use them you cannot really transfer them anywhere else and it does not allow you to completely clean you enclosure in and out.
