Just a suggestion mind you from my experiences breeding and raising these guys. Most people are really into to BP's here, but hoggies are my passion. I currently have 4 species of hoggies, and have my eyes on a 4th and 5th species. I did things backwards and started with one of the more difficult species first, the Easterns. Westerns are SOOO easy compared to those. At any rate, I would not worry to much about the shed issue. As I said before, hoggies do not shed as much as other colubrids, just another interesting quirk to them.
Remember that my hogger is a male, which grow a lot smaller than the females. Do you think I should feed him 2 XSPs a week or one nursed pinky every week?

P.S. What exactly is a speckled hognose? I saw some at the expo and I thought they were pretty nice-looking snakes.
