    I can't speak about females since I've never kept one.
    Thanks for the insight.

    These random people on this Hognose group were telling me a 4'x2' because of how active they are and were saying a 2'x2' would be too small for them to thrive.... I knew that didn't sound right. Glad I double checked over here.
