So, I'm not a colubrid person but one day I was like "Damn... I really need a Hognose", so I set out for the Reptile Expo in Toronto and saw quite a few cute babies. I told myself I was just going to "look".

Somehow this happened.

Meet Nugget ♂ and No-Name-As-Of-Yet ♀

These are the most relaxed tiny snakes I've ever held. Usually tiny snakes are defensive little spazzoids but not these two. The female is a bit jumpy and shy but the male is completely outgoing and slow moving. He has already eaten a pinky for me (female wasn't as interested). I'm so looking forward to watching these two grow. I'm already wanting more.

Congrats! I'm looking into getting into hognoses myself, and I, too, fear the addiction.
