So my lps got in a couple of hognose babies last week and I've been thinking about them all week. Of my 4 best snake friends, 2 have hoggies and another is actively looking to get one. If 3/4 of your closest snake friends are in love with the species, it's pretty hard not to fall in love, too. Upon saying that I was sort of wanting to hold them and maybe even buy one... My friends did nothing but gush about how much they loved hoggies. Sold. Today, I went to two different pet stores and came home with a little 3 month old female I've named Hoggle. She also goes by any of the various Hog-names you can think of, especially those used by Jareth. She's super sweet! Minkness said she looks like she might have some Purple line genetics going on.
We had to make a couple stops on the way home so it took 3 hours to get home and a trip to Walmart but she didn't seem to care much and is now investigating her new home.
Belly pic! She has a small scar a little bit above her cloaca but it doesn't seem to be an issue.
Exploring her new home. Paper towels for a couple weeks to monitor, then aspen chips.
That brings the total to three in a year and a half.
