Hognoses compared to Ball Pythons?

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Hoping breeders having their hogs on scented prey isn't common.

It actually is because when you breed you will always have a percentage that will need to be getting started on scented scented (it would be the step before having to assist which is very tricky with a 5 grams animal)

The key is to buy an well established animal sadly many breeders are in a rush to move animals soon as they hatch with hogs I consider my animals truly switched and established once they have ate 10 F/T unscented pink, seems like lot but buying an animal that ate 2 or 3 unscented or 2 or 3 F/T could mean trouble for a new buyer (scenting can be tricky and finding F/T pinkies close to impossible)

I've been hearing about that and often heard reactions compared to bee sting or bad allergy reaction. Would you say that's accurate? Nothing fatal just super unpleasant? Hopefully I won't be one of the unlucky ones to have a severe reaction aha. If the off chance I do get bit and start to swell, what recommended actions should I take? Will swelling die down in its own or would I need to treat myself somehow?

That is what I have heard and read, never experienced it for myself.

The worse I have seen it was this http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/heter...bate-over.html, sadly the picture are no longer up but the swelling was all the way up to the elbow, most other cases that I have seen was swelling of the finger and hand.

I concern I did have is their low humidity requirements. I noticed where I live, especially in rainy seasons humidity indoors will sometimes be as high at 40-50%. In seasonal situations like that are there methods to safely reduce humidity? Would having dedicated fans running help?

So long it's about 40% you are good, using a substrate that is dry coco coir (like reptile prime) or aspen will help so will having a small water dish (versus big one) and after that it's air flow. I live in the south so humidity during the summer is high and my animal do just fine.

That being said, I'm new to morphs. Are there any red colored ones? I've seen albinos but wondering if there are any others.

Yes there are reds those are line bred trait you have Red, Extreme Red and Purple Line

After that you have

Some recessive like

Albino
Axanthic
Pink Pastel
Toffee
Lavender.................

Co-Dom

Conda
Artic......
