Please Help, lawnmower injury

[Lori P]

My thoughts exactly, makes me crazy to hear these things... but then we see it every day. We get in so many horses that have been allowed to starve down to nothing... I'll never understand why people don't just give them away when they can no longer care for the animal. You're awesome, James, for helpng that fella.

On a brighter note, I held a hognose today too and was totally taken with him... he kept trying to burrow into my hand!!

Problem solving isn't really their forte, is it!

LOL!!!!! Well, maybe not, but endearing themselves to prospective adopters is!! He tempted me sooo bad, but, I am trying to behave myself as I did back Jamie's truck into a tree yesterday. D'OH!!!!!!!!! How blonde do you have to be to hit a TREE?????? (Well, about this blonde, apparently!) LOL

I highly recommend the hognose
Jeff's always been just tolerant of our herp proliferation
the hognose changed all that
he loves him
he even takes him out and let's him burrow in his armpit (ugh)
and he never questions the acquisition of new pets any more (as long as they're not furry)
get the hognose - really

LOL Rhea... stop encouraging me!!!!! BAD RHEA!!!! LOL I really did like the little guy and kept going back and looking at him. That little upturned nose... well, I am going to stay where I am for a good while. I feel like I'm at a good comfort level.

lol rhea your just making me want one all the more now lol.
how big do they get? have you been bitten by yours?? thats the only thing i am worried about. i understand it is just like a bee sting but i don't like that much and i have heard of bad reactions to a hoggie bite. but this fella i held did seem quite placid lol and just soooooooooooo cute!!! i want him

Thank you!! :-) Wow, what an awesome looking snake. Nick, is it yours????

Yep, it's mine. My pride and joy actually. An absolute sweetheart too, I really lucked out with this one. Hasn't struck at me once.

Can you send more pics??? I saw several of these at the expo I went to last Sunday but they were all green. Yours is such a brilliant yellow.

ours has never tried to bite anyone, although when he's in shed he gets insecure and sometimes puts on a fearsome show with hissing and flattening and all that
the worst pain ours causes us is when he uses that bony nose shovel to try to burrow in body parts (armpits and ellbow crooks)
I think 2' lengthis max for females - a 20G long tank is ample for an adult to stretch out in
from what I understand the reactions to bites only occur when people permit the snake to chew on them for several minutes
