i am looking to purchase a w. hognose in the coming months, and i figured i would start my research now.

i did a search through google, and after wading through the crap i found petcos care sheet for hognoses:

I put my 2 babies in a 33 gal. with cal. sand with rocks and branches that were disinfected. they love to dig and hide. always fresh water.warm side is between 80-85 cool side 75-80. at night 65-75.I use a 75 watt flood to heat one side and nothing on the other.at night I turn everything off.I feed them 1 pinky a week.If ther is something else you want to know don't be shy!!!

keep mine basically the same as I do the corn snakes, use carefresh for bedding so she can burrow, a bit less attentive to water, and smaller prey are the major differences.
