Thanks.

I have my w.hognose on a 85-88 hot side and 70-75 cool side.

I heat my entire room and offer no special hot or cool side, in fact my trays for colubrids have no supplemental heating.
In the 80's for a day time temp is fine, slightly cooler at night, and 55F during winter.
They aren't that fussy. Babies sure are cute though

Yup, that second picture is really cute :) I suppose with a 'nose' like that, they don't really need an egg tooth, huh?
Darn it Roy, do you have EVERY species I'm thinking of getting???? I am so tempted to send you a cheque and just ask for some of each, but unfortunately I have to get the oil tank replaced next month. That takes care of my new snake budget for a while. I hate it when life interferes with my dreams.

That second pic is just to cute! I think that if I ever seriously would breed that w.hognose would be it!
