Hi Trev..thanks, Huhm!! Define long...I think
I've been breeding them since around 1988, because I remember having them in the Ball Python years.
My main female breeder is huge and pretty old, and I guess that's why she double clutched this year.
I'm happy with her this year,ater giving me two monster clutches in just over a month. She gave me no good eggs last year.. Also, she didn't get eggbound, which can be a problem sometimes with hogs(and lots of other stuff this year )

I've been bit, they rear fangs didn't come into play, you really have to get your finger in their mouths for them to get a fang in.

Yeah, like Katt says..
I've been tagged several times over the years, but I get them off quickly. Never had a reaction, but I never leave them on long enough to start chewing.
Extra care should always be taken to avoid being bitten by hognose snakes.Reports of reactions are almost non existant, but use care just in case.
I try to avoid being bitten by any snake, as it's potentially bad for the snake's health . Usually teeth get broken in the process of pulling them off or prying their mouths.They can do without that stress.
To be honest I generally handle my adult hogs with gloves,or while they have a mouse in their mouth, as mine are face grabbers and jump straight out of the rack as soon as it's opened. I often have had them chomp right into a hook or anything else I use to push them back in. Mine are good feeders and my biggest one hisses at the slightest movement, and when that tray slides forward, its the dinner bell.
