I was thinking of other snakes I could get into and like a little earlier today, and I thought of the Hognose. They really catch my attention, and they are so adorable. They are a pretty good sized snake too, not too long and not too small. I've thought about purchasing one a while ago, but I just said to stick with the BPs. Now, I may just buy both a Pastel and a Hognose snake at the reptile expo in November.. if I get enough money on my birthday for yet another snake to add to my collection. Here are some questions I would like to know before I get this snake, and if I do decide I want this snake I'll make sure I do as much research as I can. It's a promise :]
1- how are their temperaments?
2- easy to care for?
3- if I do get a Hognose, which Hognose morph would cost me less but still looks pretty cool?
4- how big of an enclosure would an adult need?
5- do they need UTHs, or would a lamp do just fine?
6- are they finicky eaters?
7- would you recommend this snake to someone who is looking for a good beginner snake?
Any other information I would need to know on this snake will be appreciated.
Thanks!
