Tell me everything you know about Hognose snakes...

Hoggies are really some of the easiest snakes I have to keep. I only have 1.1 westerns and 0.0.1 tri and they're still little so, in keeping with the breeder (Jenea Woods - FloridaHogs on bp.net) I keep them on paper towels in my colubrid rack with a temp gradient from 85 hot to 70 cold. They actually don't even use hides, they'll just curl up under the paper towels. IMO they are some of the coolest snakes with such an attitude for such a little animal! My tri is really laid back but the westerns will hiss up a storm and start their little cobra impression whenever anything foreign is in their enclosure lol. I was feeding them last night and I dropped a ft pink into the little girls tub and she sat there hissing and mock striking at it for a good 10 minutes before she realized it was food and wasn't going to hurt her lol.

You won't be sorry if you get one from Jenea BTW (the link to her site is in my sig) she's got some real beauties!
Good luck!
