Question Recommendations for Hognose portability?

So I have put a lot of thought into getting my first snake, and I've decided the Hognose was the perfect place to start.

I've also considered a Corn Snake, and even thought about getting a scaleless one. Now before anyone says anything against that, it's been said that the problems introduced by being scaleless are in truth not as bad as they seem to be. And again, I thought about it. And at that, I am ignorant and have only taken in knowledge I've come by.

But back to the original topic, though feel free to comment on the scaleless thing, I decided that I don't always want to keep my Hognose in his cage. And to actually get my question out: Is it safe to carry him around in a little pouch? I mean it will keep him warm from the best of my knowledge, and I live in Florida. It's also Spring with Summer around the corner. The only downside I can see is that it will not get him 100% used to his own environment. And at that, it's not like he'll be in the pouch half the time. I'll only do it a couple times MAYBE. Yes, no?

Also, I wanted to make this thread to get some general Hognose tips. Like maybe some things you did personally that will help him bond with me? Or maybe some things that I shouldn't do so it won't make him think I'm smothering them. Or maybe even some things that I shouldn't do because it might frighten him?

Thanks for reading it all if you did. And I might as well treat this thread as a hello thread too, since it's my first post and/or snake.

PS: I think I want my first snake to be a normal one, since I actually prefer their pattern above special ones. (the simple brown cheaper ones)
