My hognose has never given me a lick of trouble unlike my male ball python that goes off feed *constantly*. Although I have heard male hognose can be picky, I've also heard that the female ones eat like trashcans. They are also much much larger so if they do go off feed a bit you don't have to worry as much. So for ease of care I'd say female hognose is easier than a ball python.![]()
