That feeding response is insane. Tagged from the enclosure. Moxxie was gently pried off before he could start chewing so it seems like there was no envenomation. Moxxie is pretty big for his gender and his fangs grew accordingly. Like sharp little knives. Moxxie got his mouse and he's fine.
P.S. Boyfriend is fine too
SOLVED. THANK YALL
I keep looking at images on how to tell but they dont make sense to me. I think my lil noodle is a male though? it's kinda hard to see if the tail immediately goes into the > shape or not
Got my first hognose earlier this week and would
like any advice on her enclosure. She has spent the majority of her time burrowed but I have found her on the surface exploring. I have added isopods and springtails to the substrate. Of course I’ve added pictures of her as well. I’ve named her leia. Thanks!
I went to take a pic of my adorable baby girl and right when I did, she decided it was all you think you can eat night. The honger! (She ate on Thursday.)
Hello! I’m a new reptile owner and I got my first snake, a hognose. When picking the species I knew about the hunger strikes but I’m finding it difficult to get him to eat. I got him about a month ago and he seems acclimated to his enclosure (exploring, burrowing, etc.) but every time I try to feed him he just assumes defensive postures. I’ve been trying to leave the mouse if I can’t get him to strike but he still won’t take it! I don’t know if I’m just being overly concerned about his feeding habits cause I’m new to this but I was told for his size he should be eating about once a week. I was told he’s eating frozen-thawed hoppers and ideally I don’t want to resort to live feeding. Do you think it’d be beneficial to try giving him smaller mice, coating the mouse in salmon, or even trying quail eggs?
Wilbur photos as payment :) pls help

We ve bought a lamp for rex, but I don't know how to set it up, so that he doesn't burn himself (he pokes his nose to the ceiling). Inside, the net itself is 32.7 but outside it is 47. It seems strange to me, how the net takes 15 degrees, I don't really believe the thermometer. I don't know what it is made of.
Can somebody please explain that to me?
I got Trench about 2 months ago now and he used to never come out. He is now coming out almost everyday (only in the mornings). He just seems more happy and comfortable now 💙 I'm really looking for things that I can put into his 10 gallon tank that he could climb on I can't find any driftwood that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg and I don't feel safe with getting one from outside because of parasites and mites. I know a lot of people say that they're only diggers but he does seem like he wants to climb even if it's just a little bit.
Hey everyone, I am not sure how to describe it, but CC's feeding this morning gave me a good chuckle. I hope you enjoy.
I had been cycling through wanting a hognose, a ball python or pet rats, (All pets I've been wanting for a long time) I had really started to settle in on the idea of getting rats, unbeknownst to me my boyfriend REALLY did not like the idea of getting pet rats but didn't want to tell me what I can and cannot get
But my lovely boyfriend knows me so well so he was like hey you wanna go to (reptile/bird place) and look at the animals? And I was of course like uh yeah I do, well my boyfriend had already searched it up and they had some new baby hognoses, his plan was being set in motion
We walk into the place, we take our time glancing around at all the animals and we finally reach the very back room where the tanks with all the baby hognoses, I don't even remember walking over to the tanks I genuinely just materialized in front of them
This little guy was sitting right at the front of the tank blepping his little tongue at me and I just stared at him for a minute and then I walked briefly around to look at the other ones but barely spared them a glance, I kept going back to this little guy and just melting
As I was standing infront of his tank and just exclaiming about how adorable he is, I heard the magic words from behind me. "Do you wanna get him?" I whipped around and was like "you're kidding" and he just shook his head, grinning ear to ear, so I walked out with little Miso, my boyfriend knew I'd fall in love with a little baby snake
He's been a little ANGEL, I've had him since June 20th, he's eaten twice, he comes out every day, I've handled him a couple times with absolutely no defensive behavior and when I put him back he doesn't go hide, I'm literally just so in love with this little snake 🥹
Thank you for reading my dragging on ass story about little Miso, I literally just can't stop talking about him
Anyone have experience feeding hognoses with chicks instead of mice?
He bit me, oh god, I can feel the light fading, he's taking my soul
Snowflake does know the definition of semi-aboreal... lol
Like the title says we've already been to the vet we're going back again this week because IM stressed(she hasn't skipped a meal this entire time.) This is my first health scare with a reptile that I couldn't clear up on my own. My girly kuromi at the end of May started showing signs of what I believed to be either mouth rot or an RI. Because I couldn't find any information on the difference I told vet I assumed RI, but also said idk because she's got funky growths on her mouth that came off in her shed. Vet said yep thats weird here's antibox for RI and up heat and humidity. Cool easy np. Its been almost 6 weeks with little improvement. Even on the antibox she grew new mouth bits and just now I've noticed (horrifying) her lungs are like caving in when she breaths. Is this a misdiagnosis? Would that even make a difference if it was? Like the treatments are simmilar, no? Like the weird growths make me think mouth rot but vet said RI...
First two pic are from when she had the growths and 3rd Pic is her breathing strange
MIND YOU....SHE'S GAINED WEIGHT ON THE ANTIBIOTICS. SHE HAS NEVER SKIPPED A MEAL. SHE IS UNBOTHERED, UNSTRESSED, AND I'M RIPPING MY HAIR OUT.
This is my little guy named Sudo. He is roughly 10 months old according to the breeder I purchased him from. I have a quick question though. He is only 15 grams and from what I have read online he should be much larger for his age. Is this something to be concerned about or can some individual just be much smaller? Thank you everyone
