Man my goal next year is to catch and release a milk snake and a hognose... i love'm!

My neighbor found a hognose BY OUR MAILBOX!!! OUR mailbox!!!! Did he show me?? No! He told me about it days later... I spent weeks scoping out the mailbox area... LOL!!!!!

Aundrea, I got my hoggies because of that piggy nose too!! The need a lot of burrowing space, so deep substrate, and higher temps than garters; and dryer, they are more arid. Mine don't enjoy being handled and will flatten and hiss at me, and honestly it's the cutest thing. The female played dead one day in the water dish and scared the holy bejeezus out of me... lol. Overall, I do have to admit being a tiny tiny bit disapointed that I don't see them more... mine stay burrowed most of the time. But that just makes the times they do come out more special!!!!

I love the hissing LOL. My Ornate box turtle hisses at me sometimes and I just laugh. I think its so funny. Either shes saying Hello or shes telling me to piss off LOL

I am really liking the pics of the hoggies. I think they are soooo cute and was just wondering if they are easy to care for and such. Maybe ill get one someday It would be neat to have a piggy snake LOL

once again I'm sorry it's taking me so long to get to threads these days - I miss a lot
your set-ups are fun and Desdemona beautiful
your hogs sound very different from our Casey Jones
he does have periods of retreating, but just as often he has periods of being out in the front of the tank and he will crawl right onto my hand if I open the sliding door
when he's in shed, he does tend to do the puffing up, flattening and hissing thing - quite impressive
Shannon - that frontal shot is fantastic
