    Re: I got a hoggie!!!!

    I love those guys! They're not at all like those "normal colubrids". How many colubrids that are safe and widely available can show cobra-behavior? None of them except the Hognose. Good luck with the "pig-face"!

    My snakes:
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa ~Nephthys~ (aka "Linky")

    In a better place:
    1.0 Pastel Western Hognose ~Charon~ 10/3/07-4/24/09

    If you need/want to know anything about Hognose snakes, just ask me.

    Re: I got a hoggie!!!!

    I miss my hoggie!!! He was such a good snake but some parasite got him before we could save him. I was so sad. I wish I could get another one but there's no room at the inn at the moment. Do you ship your hognose snakes? Or just pick up? Those tricolors are gorgeous. I'd love to have one. ^_^.
