They do and they love it, hard boiled eggs is also the scent I have the most success with when starting difficult hatchlings.

She is an axanthic big girl over 630 grams now and full of eggs as I type.

The belly has black but is not solid black if you want solid black you want a Conda or an Axanthic conda.

NINJA EDIT: thanks for answering my questions, Deborah!!!

not gonna lie...i did check your hoggie availability on MM after you posted pics LOL. i was just gona browse...simply....looking.......

one thing that makes me hesitant to own a hognose is their behavior with food (the venom part doesn't worry me at all). having Yellow as my first snake, with his eating habits, makes me overly paranoid about snakes not eating. obviously i don't worry about Yellow anymore, but with a new lil buddy i'm worried i'll be a mess. pets are supposed to be fun! hahaha. obvi i'd buy an established hoggie from a breeder, but still that's not always a guarantee.

maybe Tinley will have some hoggies...

Get a female, female rarely have trouble feeding mine eats all the time (well minus 4 to 8 weeks when I brumate them), but if they don't breed and I don't brumate them they will eat year round and those that breed eat up until the day they lay eggs and within hours after laying eggs or minutes or minutes



Females are really miniature garbage disposal.

those faces are just too much...SO CUTE! i will likely get a female, as that's what i've heard about them (most likely heard from you LOL).

are males more "dramatic" than females? do males get hissy-pissy more than females? i feel like i've read that somewhere before...i kinda like that attitude lol.

for a female: what size would their forever-home be? i think @craigafrechette keeps Cosmo in a 10g.

and brumation isn't necessary for pets, correct?

Fear me I am a cobra and I huff and I puff (Turn the sound up)

Dramatic no, vocal yes but so are females, they do have that hissy temper tentrum type moment when you feed them they will hiss and trash around making it harder to feed them (I often live the prey in with males vs feeding of the tong with the females)

for a female: what size would their forever-home be?

20 gallons,
They will remain in a 6 quarts tub or something similar for a year (their growth is slow the first year.)

Nope I kept a single female for several years before deciding I would breed hognose and she stay at the same temp year round and ate year round, only when you breed do you have to do it.
