Hognose questions

[Hardwikk]

I unfortunately do not have a photo of my Hogger's enclosure, but I can give you the details. The terrarium is 30", 12", 12" with crushed english walnut shells for bedding. There is a hot side, with a lamp and a UTH to keep it hot, and also a cold side, with no equipment on it to keep it that way. Both sides have a hide and the water bowl is on the cold side (remember to put it there and not anywhere else).

You have read that I used a 20 gallon tank, but a 10 gallon would work just as well.

Here's my set-up:


Sorry, the snake is hiding in this picture so you can't see him.

It's a 10 gallon with walnut shell substrate, UTH, and a low-wattage ceramic lamp (it's on a dimmer) just to give a photoperiod. Lamp stays on 12 hours and off 12 hours. All the "decoration" items came in a desert theme box from PetSmart. I think it was around $45. All I had to add was the water bowl.

wouldnt mind doing it but, shipipng would make you probably pay more then you want. plus id rather it be a local pickup due to the fact i dont really have any knowledge in shipping a live animal.

thats fine. i know there are a couple breeders of them that live close to me. i was planning on talking to one of them come spring time. my comment was more in jest because i doubted you lived nearby

i was holding my hognose today, im gonna miss that little bugger if i decide to get rid of him.

Yeah, their short stubby body and smiling face does it...
It still trips me out when they strike at you with a pointy snout.
Feels like a pencil point.

not sure, mine has never tried to strike at me.
