Most Hoggs are significantly larger than ball pythons, usually better feeders, and can be a little nippy as hatchlings, but (with regular handling) will become extremely docile adults. They are not as nervous as ball pythons and most are very curious. Husbandry is very similar to husbandry for ball pythons, besides the fact that a full-grown Hogg is going to need a 4x2ft cage and larger food items.
