    will it be ok, if i kept them in the same room/rack? after quarantine that is..
    cause, im scared if the hoggies play dead and produce their defensive musk. i read their musk is horrible.

    can a hoggie be feed on adult mice once they are bigger?
    i went from page 1 to 10.. and i didnt find anyone feeding adult mice. most are either pinkies to fuzzies. and just mice. (dont know what size mice)

    lastly, am i ready for a hognose?
    i keep corn since 2005. milks, king in 2008. and started on ball pythons late of 2008.
    currently i keeping 7 corns. 2 milks. 1 king & 10 ball pythons.

    hope you guys can advice me..
    They like to burrow, but newspaper shouldn't be much of a problem. I haven't personally used it, but I've heard of others doing so successfully.

    Same room wouldn't be an issue, and same rack could work depending on what the temps are set at. I keep my hatchling BP and Hogs in the same racks (seperate tubs, of course) with no problems.

    As for the size mouse, that definately depends on the individual snake. Some don't get big enough for a large mouse, and some could easily take more than one.
