My Hognosed snakes
I absolutely love Hognosed snakes ! They`re just the most beautiful and entertaining little things aren`t they ! These days I only usually get any hissing or anything at feeding time, although saying that, my female gets reeeeally arsey when she`s in blue lol
Now someone`s going to mention me keeping more than one snake in a tank here aren`t they? Well... in a few enclosures yes I have a pair of snakes, I`m aware of opinions on this, please don`t start having a go ! lol I`m happy to answer any questions you may have on the subject but please, keep them sensible....

Re: My Hognosed snakes
Yeah I`ve seen a few pictures of larger Hogs with thier mouths open looking like they`ve got quite big heads. I`m hoping to breed my Hognoses at some point when they`re big enough. I`ll be a very happy man when I manage to breed them ! They`ve never actually attempted to bite, I suppose to the untrained eye it might look like they have but they`re all hiss and no bite really. I carefully put them back in thier tank after feeding and I don`t even have any problems then. They hiss a bit and look scary lol but when you just ignore that and pick them up, they actually seem a bit disapointed that they didn`t manage to scare you off lol

Re: My Hognosed snakes
In my Hognose tank I have three yes, two females and one male. I`ve never seen any hint of competition for resources or fighting, trouble at feeding time or any signs of the smallest one struggling, I watched her closest of all at first. I seperate them for feeding and they go back together five mintues after eating with no problems. I find Western Hogs just want to be left alone after feeding, there doesn`t seem to be the residual feed excitement that you find in other snakes a good quarter of an hour after they`ve eaten. I gently handle them right after they`ve been fed to get them back in the tank, all I get is a hiss or two, they go quiet once picked up and just go back into thier tank and straight under the nearest cover. I provide a lot of cover and digging depth substrate. I`ve found they love thier cave with bogwood over it and then another bit over that, so they`ve got layers of cover. They also have a wicker hut at the cool end. More often than not, they are to be found together. The smaller one actually digs her way under the larger ones sometimes lol they completely ignore her when she does that too lol I do watch behaiviour carefully when doing this, I don`t just put them together and presume it`ll be ok. I have had instances where it hasn`t worked out such as two male corn snakes with no female. One was slightly smaller and would hide in one spot and not venture out so I seperated them. It may be that you`ll only get away with two males if they`re siblings. As I say, I`m happy to answer questions, do you have any specific questions about it?
