First Hognose! (Sex/morph?)

[Mathilda]

Congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of hognose keeping!

Definitely looks like a normal male to me, but Deborah already cleared that up, and she's my go to for hognose info, hahaha.

I only have less than a year of keeping hognose, and only one animal for reference, but my boy, Cosmo, is a super sweetheart. Chill as can be. He'll hiss and fake strike his prey when I put it in with tongs, but is super chill when prey is not involved.
The only other time he hissed was my bad. I accidentally dropped his water bowl right next to his head. Was only from an inch or two, but scared the crap outta him and he hissed like crazy for a solid minute. I had to let him cool down before grabbing his bowl again, hahaha. Once I was sure he was ok it was actually comical to watch. So funny to see such a little guy try to be badass.

This little guy is like that too! Very laid back. He even ate a pinky for me with zero issues, right off the tongs. Such a fun little thing
