Hognose Cage Size?

[Hugsofdoom]

For my second snake I'm thinking of getting a juvenile male hognose, but I was wondering how big a cage I could put him in. I looked online and it said for a max male you would usually have a 10 Gallon, and I'm looking for some thing with a small surface area so I can fit another cage on my cabinet. But the snake's comfort comes before, my convenience. What do you guys suggest?

10 gal minimum honestly. They do have some kritter keepers that have the same floor space as a 10 but is short. Since hogs generally don't climb that might work for you. I have a male hog too and he's in a 5 gal type kritter keeper but when full grown in a few years will probably be upgraded to a 20 long since my guy is unusually active and likes to cruise alot where as my MBK who's 4 times larger prefers to either curl up in a hide, or lounge in the front of her tank...no real cruising ir exploring for her lol. Shoot...my ball python is more active than my MBK >_>

Anyway...sorry for going off topic. A 10 gallon is good, a 20 long is best.

I would honestly get a 20 gallon breeder tank. I plan on upgrading my male to a 40 gallon breeder tank with lots of hides and decoration for him to explore and feel comfortable in.
But I would use 20 gallon for sure with lots of enrichment.
