Heya
Hey guys, I am brand new to this forum.. just registered. Thought I would post my first message and introduce myself a little bit.
I guess first off i am sort of a poser - i dont actually own a snake or any reptile for that matter. Never have. I am in the process now of getting myself a baby western hognose and so have been reading ************** and ************* for a few months now. Stumbled upon these forums by accident actually.
Up until a few months ago I have been deeply involved in predatory fish. For a few years I have kept piranha and african cichlids. My pride and joy was a tank with 6 large adult Pygocentrus Cariba (larger more aggressive cousin of the common red belly piranha - Pygocentrus Nattereri). Unfortunately since i am a university student, I do move around a lot so I was forced to sell all of my tanks before relocating to the house I am living in now. Anyone who moves around as much as me and is into fish can relate to the problems associated with owning tanks over 100g. I was pretty sad to see the big boys go, and shortly after began looking into something that was a bit more portable to fill the void. After reading about the various species recommended for a first time snake owner - fell in love with the western hognose. I cant wait to get my hands on one.
My main interest in these boards, is just to get information and opinions. I can literally sit and read boards for hours. So hopefully once i do get my hognose, I can be a part of this community and learn everything I need to know about keeping my new friend healthy and happy.
Note: To any fellow canadians out there - I am located in south western ontario! So heya hehe
Andrew

welcome to our lil corner of the jungle. Hog as a first snake, great pets but with a frustrating habit of going off feed, sometimes for months at a time (I have a little westernXmexican). Ask away, plenty of folks here to answer questions.

Greeting and welcome on board. My name is Chuck and I live the southeastern United States. My main interest is North American pit vipers, but I also know a little about giant pythons. Let me know if I can be of any help.
