Hognose Handling
I have a few questions regarding the behaviour of my hognose when handling it (which ive had since last june).
When I take him out he is very active and tries to escape. It looks as though handling him creates a lot of stress. He is very skittish and reacts rapidly to any moves I make. In addition to this, his tank is on my desk and he seems fairly skittish sometimes even when I walk by or look closely at the tank.
I try to handle him for a minute or two every couple days. Is his skittishness caused by too infrequent handling? I was wondering for those that have hogs on this forum, if you could perhaps describe to me the best method to try and calm him down a bit and get him used to me more. Also, what sort of things do you do when handling the snake? Do you just handle him or do you put him down etc etc
thanking in advance,
andrew
