Welp, I went to a local expo today planning on bringing home a MBK. Unfortunately, none of the vendors had any :c I was tempted by a lavender...but it was over when I saw the hognoses. I ended up with a young male (forgot to ask his age in the excitement), but I'll attach a picture.
Anyway, the breeder said he was fed last Tuesday and should be fed again this Tuesday. After briefly lurking a couple forums, I'm conflicted now. I've read that they should be fed every 3-4 days? Even 2-3? Can I get a little confirmation from somebody?
I don't personally know the vendor. He was friendly, answered any questions I had, and let me hold the couple hoggies he had, but he had quite a few different species as well. Are there any successful or strictly hognose breeders/keepers who could advise me? I don't want to underfeed the little guy.
Also, are all hoggies as friendly and docile as the one I got?! I bought him early this morning and not once has he shown any signs of aggression or even anxiety. He just seems curious. I handled him a bit more than I probably should have on the ride home, but he didn't seem to mind. He's exploring his terrarium now and I intend to leave him be for a while ^_^
Here he is:
