I've been working with colubrid snakes for a few years now, and I'm starting to get bored of just the typical python or corn snake. I want something new, and I feel that hognose snakes would be the perfect new addition. The only problem? Nobody breeds them around here, and I don't want to pick one up from petco. Does anyone know of any refutable breeders that are in/near Maryland? I'm fine buying online too, but so far I haven't seen shipping prices go bellow $80. Also, does anyone have any special advice for when I actually get my hognose? I've heard it's hard to get them started with pinkies, but I'm sure there's more I should know about the breed. My housing plan is a 30 gallon terrarium with all the bare necessaries and a few hides. I'm just looking for some advice since I haven't worked with the breed before. Thanks for reading!
