Hi, new here! Sort of signed up looking for help.
I'll have pictures soon as I can (maybe tomorrow because my cam is dead)
But the story is, I was sick for a good few weeks in and out of the hospital a while back and wasn't able to feed my two hognose snakes. A family member would change their water but apparently couldn't handle feeding them mice which I later learned.
When I got back I thought they looked fine but realized after handling them for a longer period that most times I handled them they were puffing up in defense and once they calmed down they were significantly thinner. I only handle them to examine them and be sure they're doing alright and they've always been really hissy so I didn't bother stressing them out. I guess they puffed up when I picked them up and I never gave them enough time to chill out before putting them back down.
Dumb of me, but it wasn't a thought at the time.
I'm worried now that they're underweight and I haven't been feeding them enough for months.
(weekly fuzzy/hopper mice)
Like I said I'll have pics up soon. But for now does anyone have any images of what a year and a half old hognose should look like? Or what a skinny hognose looks like, too?
