When it's time to feed him/her (I sure hope you got a female), put something above the substrate that has short sides (like the top of a shoe-box turned upside-down) and place the mouse and the snake in the short-sided object. Hognose snakes also require very low humidity
(%30-%40) so don't raise the humidity to aid them in shedding. Besides those two things, a Hognose snake's care is just like any other snake (but Hognoses themselves aren't). These chubby snakes have attitude (they hiss, make mock strikes, and form a hood like a cobra), something most snakes never do! Also, you can count on NOT getting bitten by one, b/c they won't bite you. Ever (unless you smell like food). You made a great choice to get one!
Hey, thanks a lot for that info. Is there a huge difference between the males and females in case mine is a male? I'm sure the breeder will let me know when he gets here, we did this trade set up really fast so I did not have time to ask tons of questions.. I just really wanted the female RTBs which I'm getting, this little guy is just a perk!
