    Fat hognose?

    So I've been browsing some of the older posts in this topic and noted the seemingly low weights of some of the males (but what do I know, hoggies are teeny compared to BPs lol). Anywho, after weighing our recently purchased hatchlings, my curiosity got the better of me and I finally got around to weighing Sonic, our adult male hoggie. He clocked in at a whopping 188 grams!!! He doesn't seem too chunky, but I'd love some input. Does he need a diet? Lol he's currently on medium hoppers (what the seller said he was on), and just started feeding again after a 3 week spurt of pickiness.

    Looks good to me. Can you post a picture of the underside of the tail? That will show if it's male or female. Female hogs get a lot bigger than the males.
    I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

    Dang I knew you'd ask for that. He's not the most cooperative when it comes to standing still for photo shoot So these are the best ones I could get:





    Stupid little wiggle worm. He's lucky he's cute lol

    Thanks for the comments guys!! I'm really curious as to how big his babies will be once we get a sizable female to throw him to. Of course, that won't be for a few years, but I'll keep you posted!
