Re: New Western Hognose
I don't know anything about the care of hognoses, but I had to comment on the name you chose for him. I love the name Noodle!

Thanks - actually it's due to this forum I named her that - I can't remember who it was but somebody once commented that for their size, Burms often act like limp noodles!! So a BIG THANK YOU to whoever said that.

Re: New Western Hognose
the breeder i got mine from said they do best if you don't let the temp go below 76*. everything else sounds about right... and yes, you should put some damp moss in the hide(s) when they're in shed. my guy is the first snake i've owned that actually uses his basking spot with regularity. other than that, they're a very inactive, but interesting, snake.

Re: New Western Hognose
Thank you! I'll make sure I do the moss thing (like with my BP). Do Hognoses eyes go blue like BP's when they are going into shed?

sure, all snakes do... well white or blue or whatever. either way, the eyes cloud prior to shedding.

Re: New Western Hognose
Thank you! And thank you, too, to Shelby - for (sort of) giving me the idea for her name.
She comes home today .... 4 hours and counting
