Western Hognoses...

Ok, I couldn't resist any longer. These weird little snakes just grew on me and I had to get a pair. They just arrived today, and they are so different from any other snake I've had. I'll post pics of the pair once they're settled in and feeding, in a week or so. They're adults, the female's around 4 years old and the male's around 3 years old. She's already had one clutch of 15 eggs this season and may double clutch. She looks like she's still got pretty good weight and I'll feed her well just in case. Wish me luck and any pointers you'd like to share would be appreciated!
I've been reading up on these guys and I'm just amazed at the complexity of their defensive behaviours. Nature sure is a curious thing!
