Hognose husbandry questions!

[Jus1More]

Hi, great to see another fellow Torontonian! Thank you for the welcome! Dino Reptiles is actually the first I contacted, and I'm currently chatting with Norm about husbandry stuff - he says he'll have hatchlings available in the summer, so I'll be looking out for that. I'd be happy with a normal, so I hopefully prices will be that bad. Tails and Scales was on my radar, too - I might also swing by there and see what they have. I saw them both at the most recent expo, and honestly they both seem great and I'd be happy with a snake from either of them. Only reason I'm talking with Dino Reptiles right now is because I haven't gotten a reply from Tails and Scales yet, haha.

(I've also been looking at All Reptiles and Port Credit Pets, haven't heard back from them either)

I'm now intending to start with a tub for sure, since it's looking more and more likely that I'll be getting a young animal. I think it's actually for the better, since now I can take more time to figure out the best adult caging options for later. Where did you get your bin, by the way? I'm assuming I can buy those easily somewhere like Canadian Tire?

I'd love to take you up on that expo outing offer someday, though! I don't know anyone interested in reptiles so that'd be really fun.



As I said above, I've now realized that I should start with a tub, and I'll be sure to find something appropriate for the snake's forever home when the time comes

I will go ahead and send you a PM, so check your inbox. I have some more info to share with you about the locals in the GTA...
