I've heard that the record was 33 inches, but I want to know what YOU heard.
35.8".
I've seen large females in the 31 to 33" inch range.

How thick around would a snake like that be? And what would it be feeding on?

Hognose snakes are very fat according to their body proportion (so most of the other snakes their length are thinner) so a Hogger that's almost 3' would be thicker than the hole when you make an "OK" sign by touching your index finger to your thumb and weigh around a pound, and it could probably take down adult mice.

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.

I have two females that are over 400g and eat 2 rat pups a feeding, and would probably eat more if I let them. One gave me a clutch of 32 this season. When I measured her in Jan she was 32.8". If you want to see a big hoggie, take a look at the giant madagascian hognose that gets up to 9 ft!!!

I meant a Western Hognose snake, so Madagascan ones aren't the kind I'm reffering to.

Yeah I know, just saying they are some impressive hoggies. My 400+ girls are westerns.

Re: How big was the biggest Western Hogger?
I had a western hog a few years ago that was 750g and about 3' long. It was awesome it fed on 2 adult mice a week.
