I've been hearing about scenting and admit I'm unsure what this refers to. I'm guessing it's mixing smells with the prey item to entice a hoggie? To the point a hoggie might not eat anything unless it has a specific scent? Either way I'm taking a big note on that and hoping I can get a hold of an established eater on unscented f/t prey. Hoping breeders having their hogs on scented prey isn't common.
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?
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?
It's going to be a few good years until I may get a hognose, but figured it would be a good idea consider potential troubleshooting or difficulties I may bump into. Plus I enjoy learning about things early
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.
I wasn't going to mention this but because you specifically asked ...
As regards Hoggie bites .. a photo tells a better story ..this is a genuine case of someone I know off another forum .
He had a very bad reaction and spent some time in hospital ..
Bit his finger but the swelling initially went past his elbow ..
