Re: Meet Hoggle! Aka my friends are all enablers.

Hoggle Update!

She continues to be super sweet. She gets a little nervous when I first reach in and she'll try to scale the walls and watches my hand so I'm careful when I first reach in and touch her a few times before trying to pick her up but once all that is over, she's perfectly fine. And even then, she doesn't even huff. She's steadily growing even if it seems so slow and she's hardly shedding. I'm used to monthly sheds and she's not quite that fast. Probably because I'm not feeding her as often as I should, just can't get used to this whole five day schedule for some reason. But she's 10" and 17g now which is much bigger than she was when I got her in February. She's out all the time and it's been a lot of fun seeing her roam around her little tank.

Re: Meet Hoggle! Aka my friends are all enablers.

It's time for a Hoggle update!
This little girl is just great. Every once in a while she will hiss when I reach in her cage, but that's only started recently after one of the cats somehow got her cage open enough to fit a paw inside. She was fine but I still don't know how they managed to pull the pin out and slide open the door...
She's approx. 10 months and 37g of wonderful.





But she still hasn't grasped the concept that she can't fit under my bracelets.


She is my mom's favorite out of my snakes because she enjoys watching her run around her 'racetrack' every morning.


The right corner, partially hidden under the red leaf, has become her favorite spot lately. It's partly over the heat pat [as is the black hide] and she can watch what's going on in the house. She's getting close to the length of her cage which is 10in. She's on a fuzzy every 7-10 days [as in, I try for 6-7 and sometimes it ends up more like 10]. She's getting up there.

Re: Meet Hoggle! Aka my friends are all enablers.

She's been very good since day 1 about handling and feeding. She's usually very gentle when feeding and will simply slowly open her mouth around the prey with zero strike. Sometimes she'll kind of do it more quickly which I guess you can call a strike but compared to my other two snakes, it's nothing at all.

Congrats on your little one! I really, really enjoy my hognose.

Thanks! It's from the movie The Labyrinth so her cage is actually lined with Labyrinth quotes.
