Hognoses compared to Ball Pythons?

[MissterDog]

It actually is because when you breed you will always have a percentage that will need to be getting started on scented scented (it would be the step before having to assist which is very tricky with a 5 grams animal)

The key is to buy an well established animal sadly many breeders are in a rush to move animals soon as they hatch with hogs I consider my animals truly switched and established once they have ate 10 F/T unscented pink, seems like lot but buying an animal that ate 2 or 3 unscented or 2 or 3 F/T could mean trouble for a new buyer (scenting can be tricky and finding F/T pinkies close to impossible)


That is what I have heard and read, never experienced it for myself.

The worse I have seen it was this http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/heter...bate-over.html, sadly the picture are no longer up but the swelling was all the way up to the elbow, most other cases that I have seen was swelling of the finger and hand.

So long it's about 40% you are good, using a substrate that is dry coco coir (like reptile prime) or aspen will help so will having a small water dish (versus big one) and after that it's air flow. I live in the south so humidity during the summer is high and my animal do just fine.

Yes there are reds those are line bred trait you have Red, Extreme Red and Purple Line

After that you have

Some recessive like

Albino
Axanthic
Pink Pastel
Toffee
Lavender.................

Co-Dom

Conda
Artic......

Thanks for your input Deborah!


I'm hoping from what I read in that thread and Zinc's picture that level of swelling and reaction is considered rare. The thread is at least reassuring to me that the bite was from a feeding response and not a defensive one. So I'm hoping as long as I'm mindful about what foods I've been touching that it will be a non-issue. Have to see how the husband feels about this though :p

As for morphs, I'm definitely LOVING the red and purple lines! Deborah if you by chance breed those morphs I might get hoggie from you!
