Ive been researching these guys for a while now.

But everywhere i go, every breeder around me i talk to, everything and everyone has conflicting things.

I dont want to buy one just to then make a mistake.

I know of their feeding responses, i got to watch a local breeder feed and he laughed as he explained the response and how when he's not feeding he has to tap them to let them know its not food time.

I know of the supposed toxicity these guys hold, this is one of those up for debate? One breeder says no its more of bacteria than vemom, another says it is venom but it doesnt really affect you, another said they got out of hognoses because they can really damage you?

Then comes the feeding.
They dont get big, so rats are a nono? Though ive heard conflicting things here too. One said they cant digest rats properly so they risk death another said its just the fact they arent big enough to eat them, another said they feed rat weanlings to his. Mice only? Again this is for a hognose to thrive under my care, I want all the info i can get.

How often do they bite? Brian or is it bryan? Of BHB once said the top beginner snake he recommends are hognoses. Ill have to find that video again. I enjoy watching snakebytetv.

im interested in getting into the hognose species, theyre an adorable snake, but im all ball pythons and down to one red tail boa. I did own a corn and a king once but that was when i was younger.
