All I have to say is that since I have gotten my little baby hoggie I am HOOKED! They have awesome personalities and don't get too big. The appear to like being handled and tame up really nicely.

They are venomous tho (rear fanged) so if they bite you the bite can cause some swelling and redness. It's similar to a Garter snakes venom...only a little more potent. Tho I haven't heard of any serious reactions to their venom so long as you are healthy (don't have any major health issues) and don't have any other allergies to venom from other animals..like spiders or bees. I just wanted to make you aware of that b/c I don't want to see anyone get hurt needlessly.
