I was just literally asking questions... like the above, Deborah you are clearly experienced, so I asked you a direct question. I am sorry if this is not allowed. It seemed to me the OPs enclosure looked adequate. It seems I was wrong, but nobody clarified yet as to why the size is not good.
I am aware I am not experienced with hognose, so I am asking a question just like the OP.
also, “very limited experience with 1-3 snakes” is not accurate. It is fully accurate that I don’t have any breeding experience, and I haven’t kept 500 snakes for 39 years.
i have been keeping ball pythons for over 2 years, and I have had a total of 8 different snakes at different times, as I bought a whole collection from a hobbyist and sold most of them off.
that makes me a neophyte I suppose, but that is why I have been asking questions and researching since 2016, mostly right here in the forum,
just today, I started two threads asking questions to more experienced members to answer, which they did.
I have never claimed to “know it all.” Not even close.
anyway, I will refrain giving any advice about hognose, as it is not my experience.
...though I would still like to now why the OPs enclosure is too big.
