I wanted to share a few pics of my latest. A yellow phase eastern hognose. I have actually had this little guy since the end of April. He has been in quarantine since that time and today he was move into the snake room. I have always loved hoggies and have had couple of westerns many many years ago. I wanted to get a hog for our collection, but wanted something a little different. So a buddy of my mine turned my on to a breeder that breeds southern and easterns that eat pinks/mice. For those who do not know, easterns can be very finicky when it come to food. They are notorious toad eaters. The first time I tried to feed him, I did have to scent with a toad that I had on hand. Since that first time, he has been eating unscented large pinks ever since. I am still keeping him in a tub for right now as he is still small (11 months old). Eventually he will go in a display cage, but he needs some size first. I am super excited to have this guys and I LOVE his pattern and color. He is feisty and loves pretending he is a cobra, but in time he will calm down. As with all of our snakes, my wife names them all. So with that said I like to introduce Piggy Smalls
