2:12 is the cutest bluff strike ever
omg ya so cute
Haha totally agree!
i keep rewatching it, and i'm practically crying here, its so cute I cant
Haha poor guy
I just keep watching this bit over and over.
Snake discovery: Cute personalities!
Pissy: am i a joke to you
Exotics lair ?
Hey name is Emily just saying
@@kailynnhowington1873 Pissy is another Western Hognose snake from another channel called Exotics Lair. Pissy is known to be, as his name states, pissed of all the time.
Ünsüz Herif he was saying instead of saying “snake discovery: ...” to say “Emily :...” because that’s her name.
Pissy is a snake of its own, it is so pissy and hisses all the time
That little hop that the albino hoggy did during his bluff strike was so adorable lol.
I need a GIF of that.
I've just recently become interested in snakes (yeah, wait til you're 71) and really enjoy your videos. Your knowledgeable and straightforward approach is very welcome and I'm learning quite a lot from you. Thanks so much.
I say go for it and treat yourself!
I'm 51 and TERRIFIED of snakes except the hognose! But i watch snake videos to educate myself about them so i know where to avoid them, learn their habits, etc. I live in Texas so we DO have venomous snakes around, but so far around my house I've seen those small black garter snakes. I'd rather have hognose snakes because at least they don't dart around!
Oddly enough, i fear no spider except the brown recluse but that's common sense!!! I WISH we had tarantulas!
@@monikag1323 snakes are wonderful :) it's nice you're educating yourself about them, because that's how you overcome your fears. garter snakes do no harm and they can actually make great pets!!! they're usually tame especially if you socialize them a lot and they can be quick but they really do no harm. small snakes like them and snakes like ball pythons have very small and gentle bites if they even do
@@monikag1323 what part of Texas do you live in? I’m in central Texas in the hill country and we have tarantulas around here.
Name suggestion for the albino: Cheese Puff.
Yas
OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yees
I dont think they will keep it😓
Good one!
I got bit by mine yesterday, because he has an incredible feeding response and I wasn't watching myself. What an adventure that was.
Commander Shepard OH noes! How did it feel after? Knowing they got some venom
Melluns 07 they do actually have venom but its not super poisonous. Its more like being stung by bees
Commander Shepard Is a butt
That snake must be a danger noodle
Did it hurt?
I love mine because when he bluff strikes it's like a little sneeze lol
I found a hognose, it had a very big hood, It may also have something wrong withi its snout.... its also ven....ok its a cobra
Cloaker
you failed, only one like from yourself lol

Even tho this video is old, this was extremely helpful, as I’m getting a young male conda hognose snake for my b-day in August, I can’t wait, I’ve always loved snakes and always wanted one too
how is he so far?
i've always have had a fascination for hognoses
If you bred an eastern with a western hognose, would you get a central hognose? 🤔
💯
Nope it's neutral since equal and opposite cancel each other
Just go 😂
A TEXAN Hognose snake!!! Iwas born and bred on the east coast, lived on the west for almost 20 years, and i will die in Texas!
I’m 68 and fascinated by snakes. But like a lot of people, I’m not confident when handling them by myself. Back in the 90’s I bought a beautiful baby corn snake. Hoping I could overcome my anxiety I tried handling her. She never actually bit me but would give me a warning hiss. I kept her for 2 years but as she got bigger and bigger I got even less confident with her. I returned her to the breeder, knowing that she could be rehomed to someone who was more confident than me. Back then there was very little ready advice. If only there was a Snake discovery channel then. If I was a few years younger I would happily go out and buy a Western Hognose. I love your channel, you are such ambassadors for reptiles. 🇬🇧
boop the snoot
do not boop the danger noodle or you'll get the hurt juice.
*boops*
Snoot that boops
Boop
Boop
I just got a baby western. She keeps biting me whenever I try to handle her. She doesn't hiss or hood up, so I'm positive she just thinks I'm food.
"they're very calm" hehe well exotic labs's hognose isnt calm at all XD
I'm also in MN! I just recently got a hognose from twin cities reptiles and I'm so in love with her.
Emily, love this little tutorial on Hognoses and can't wait to see what clutches you get this year! I hope you might consider doing a tutorial about Brumation - what it is, what you do to get your snakes through it, and how it affects breeding.
Thanks.
I have obsessed with this channel for a while and to see the love and care they put into each animal is amazing I tried to watch a diffrent channel to see the diffrent types of hognose genes and I saw video of people fast feeding to breed them some wouldn't even touch the snakes they would just us a hook and talk about how many babies they will get and for you to buy them I didn't like watching that I love your channel and will hope to one day soon purchase a snake from you guys. Keep up the great work guys !!
they also rattle their tails in the leaves, trying to act like rattlesnakes ,
snake6928 most US snakes will do that it's just one of the more effective defenses they have
A rattlecobra!
Casey Swartzentruber that’s incorrect not many snakes do that
@@wolfcub1835 Most of the colubrids do and they represent the largest group of snakes in the US (everywhere, actually) so Casey is right.
"Would you calm down?" 🤣
I'm getting an albino western hognose and I have watched so many videos on how to care for her, and I got her home all set up! I am SO excited to finally meet her tomorrow!
Watching this in 2019, I’ve been watching you channel for about 4 month and this is one of the old videos and it amazing how far you have come😁
I live in Alabama and we have some beautiful Eastern Hognose snakes!
I adore your channel! Great Hognose video!😃👍
They are my absolute favorite 💓 snake too!!!! Great job taking care ❤
Great video. Informative and entertaining! Thanks for posting!
Your videos are very informative. Interesting and to the point, thank you and hope to see more in the future
Boople noodles! Boople noodles everywhere!

Booople booople booodlesss
I have been watching so many of these videos and I'm in love with the Western Hognose. I want one so badly. They're adorable and fascinating. I used to think I just wanted a ball, or rosy boa, but I'm now more informed about the particular challenges of those snakes and the hognose sounds more up my alley. Plus, just look at that face!
Can you explain pissy from exotic lair?
i was thinking the exact thing! i wish she would explain that also i was actually wwanting a hognose a bit because of pissy cuz i know it wwont bite but acts annoyed all the time
LOL
It’s really just a childhood phase they go through. Most of the snapping is in the younger snakes but as they get older they mature and calm down.
Then you just have snappy snakes lol
Pissy is a famous little snake from a TH-cam channel called ‘Exotics Lair,’ and is known to be the most pissed off adorable little albino snake. She’s never happy, and always hissing up a storm. It’s quite funny actually. You can just type ‘pissy’ and ‘exotics lair’ and it’ll bring up the video. Anyways that little mean snek is the snek they’re referencing.
Love your videos Emily! A hog nose is definitely going to be my first snake one day! They are adorable!❤️
I’m so glad I found your videos months ago I’m hunting a hog nose at all the reptile shows I can go to but only found one baby eastern that was to pricey.
ATTN SNAKE DISCOVERY.
You need to do a new video about all of your hognoses since this video is a little dated.
I don’t know if you actually read comments on videos. Plus you get thousands of comments on new videos. So you may never see this. But I thought it was worth a shot. Your channel has really been the medicine I needed to get me through so tough times-not vivid thankfully. Just other health issues. Thank you and Ed for all of your hard work and passion for animals!
After watching your channel, hog noses are now our favorites too! We saw one today at our local zoo and wanted to share 😊
Whoops, not able to share the photo but when I asked my 7-year-old daughter, who is obsessed with your channel, if the snake was a "regular," (meaning not a conda) she said, "oh that's a normal" immediately. ☺
Thanks for explaining the hood thing now i know why Exotics Lair calls his Western Hognose Snake a "Cobra wannabe" lol
Actually, it's little cobra. I'm also a big fan.
I just LOVE your videos! I learn SO much! I have a BP now and adding a Rosy Boa soon. A Western Hognose may be in the distant future! So cute!
The more i learn from you and from other channels (the serious ones), I fall in love with the hognose.
I love the bluff strikes! It's so cute they don't even open their mouths.😆
I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!! It’s so shiny and pretty!!!
Over this last weekend while at a father-son camp out, my son and I came across what we now know was a Eastern Hognose. This was located along the Chippewa River near Arkansas, WI.. Initially, I checked for the rattle of a rattle-snake, negative. It hissed and swelled its head. My first thought was 'Cobra'...in Wisconsin!?...nope. It slinked off into the woods, didn't play dead at all. And yes the frogs & toads were everywhere that weekend.And now we know. Thank you for the video, Scott & Josh
They are so adorable!!!
Lovely snakes you have! I have 3 westerns and an eastern hognose myself. My eastern is captive bred, and actually takes f/t mice with no problems. Every now and then I have to rub a bit of toad scent on his mouse to jump-start him eating, but most days he does unscented. He's about a year old now, and eats an unscented hopper mouse every 4-5 days. I'll probably move that to once a week when he's finished growing.
That second bluff strike looked kind of like a carrot falling over. He's such a cutie! :D
Found an Eastern Hog Nose on my hike yesterday (Michigan). It flared out pretty impressively. Pretty cool.
Hogs are so cute but ma parents won't get me one - the life of a snake lover - lol
Waaaaaat? But they're maybe one of the best pet snakes ever!
Show them this: th-cam.com/video/952RqhvkUnE/w-d-xo.html
Honestly you don't need a pet as demanding as a reptile until you are old enough to take care of it entirely on your own. Snakes can be expensive to maintain and if they need a vet visit it gets even more expensive.
@@cypheri1339 Comparing typical pets like dogs or cats, snakes are much easier to care for.
kathryntheboeing 747 omg you're the only person who understands me. I can just tell from this one statement
Me and my dad want one but my mom is scared 😑
Hognoses are my favorite snake too although I don’t have a snake 🐍
My fiance put down a deposit for my first snake, an albino western hognose! He was my Valentine's day present. We are officially bringing him home next Friday and I'm very excited!
How is he doing? My first snake is going to be a Western Hognose too.
I love these snakes so much!
Good explanation on the little hoggies! Your cute too!
Hognose: hisses
Emily: I’m not useing you in this video I’m trying to tell everyone how nice hognose snakes are
Me: awwwwww
OMG !!
Their face are sooo adorable
Excellent video.. Now I want a western hognose.
Hi Snake Discovery! Your hog nose snake is super cute. I really want to get one someday (I already have a bearded dragon and my sister has a ball python). We also have 3 parakeets. I think their little shovel faces are precious!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just got my first western hognose a day after my birthday of the 11th this week. She's a 4 month old female het hypo and really gorgeous she looks compared to the image the breeder showed me via text. I was also offered a male het hypo as an extra bonus for my belated 26th birthday, which was a surprise from him, but I have until the end of December. They're so adorable even as babies ^_^
Great video! The western Hognoses I've seen have been just plain Grey.
I just came across a big one on out property back in September! I looked down and there was a snake, and I'm like huh, it's flat..weird. and then it got up, flared out and went off into the brush. This is the first snake I have seen down there (Houston County, mn). We have bull snakes and rattlesnakes. I had to google to find out what kind this snake was. Anyways, great video! Glad I came across it!
Thanks for input. There is a eastern hog nosed in my backyard . Just met him this AM. Found name on KY snake site.
I want a Hognose as my first snake when I'm finally get the chance. They just seem so adorable.
This has only incouraged me for getting my hognose!! I have my habitat all set up
Just got my hognose yesterday looks like I got lucky with the breeder he is very friendly and just had his first feeding today
Very informative, thank you.
I had a hognose, as a kid. He was beautiful, and very placid, easy to handle. I found him in the back pasture, close to a spring, on our farm. He turned over to play dead (the only time he ever did, after that he was okay with me handling him), and vomited up a toad. So, I knew what he ate! My mother let me put toads in the freezer, for winter food. I kept him a couple of years, then took him back where I found him, and let him go. The only pet reptile I ever had. His colors were very vivid, really pretty snake. 💜
Just got a western hog nose feeding it a fuzzy twice a week his doing great and we are bonding love my little friend
Thank you for ur work
beautiful wee thing .and the snake was nice too
yikes.
iv been searching about the western hognose and I'm truly in love with them. really cute but I still have somewhat of a phobia
You have an amazing account you deserve more subs!
A hognose is definitely my next snake, also my second
Caught A eastern today southwest of Houston! We see them around about 1 or 2 times a summer! He was lucky I run the mower over the top of him last yr the 1 wasn't so lucky! tear drop! cool cool little snakes!
Just got my first Albino Western Hognose. A little girl. She’s already got big attitude at just a few months old.
Lol mine too:D he is so hissy and strikes a lot when I have him outside his enclosure. But when he is in his enclousure he is sweet. Hope I will tame him someday :D
My hognose is just 2 months old.
soooooooooooooo cute :-) both you and the snakes ^^
It's been so long since I've watched their older videos and I forgot how long Emily's hair was lol she look so young too!
Awesome video
I wonder if I could adopt a Hognose Snake and how ? Thanks to you guys, I definitely fell in love with these snakes. ♡
you could always check pet finder:) i’m sure it’s not easy to find one tho
Morph market is a good way to find breeders
Beautiful n cute snakes
Just got ourselves a hognose to join the collection.
Amazing little thing, hasn't eaten yet though
I found a HUGE hognose here in Oklahoma, it was a completely black and about 3 foot long or longer and had a huge hood that was about the size of the palm of my hand
I wish I could have a Western Hognose, but my state (Iowa) says its illegal. I would move states to have one of these beautiful noodles.
I want a hog nose snake!! They are so cute!!
Hey! I'm in Minnesota (Saint Paul)! I also just bought a Western Hognose at the expo yesterday. Looking forward to raising her!
Congrats! Did you get any special morph?
I didn't; I actually quite like the normal morph. My friend/roommate is considering a sand boa, so maybe he'll get an interesting morph. I've been enjoying learning about snakes; my girlfriend has had a black milk snake for some time and is thinking about getting a rainbow boa.
That's awesome! You can't beat the normal wild-type coloration :-)
Can you do a video on garter snakes? I'm going to be getting one in a few months and even though I've done lot of research, a video from a known expert would be awesome!
Heard that eastern eat chicken scented and salmon oil scented mice very good. Nice video!
Emily, our family loves your show and we always look forward to the next post. We've seen you interact a lot with western hognoses and have been inspired ourselves to try a small family breeding project with them. Would you have any recommendations on some good genetics to start with for perhaps a 1/3 ratio setup so that we can have a nice variety? Thank you!
Such cute snakes
I love the Hognose snakes... I get the eastern on my property. I love finding them. we have a pond close by full of American toads... that's why they love my property lol
I just went to my first reptile expo AND bought my first hognose 🥰🥰
Let's see it :-)
Nice work, Sure knows her Hognoses. Wonder what she named the first one, seems to be her fav all through the video.
I found an Eastern yesterday morning, but it's coloration on top was dark and bland. The bottom however was a brilliant rose pinkish color. The top had bands on it, but they were harder to see because of it's more UNATTRACTIVE dark olive coloration. It did literally everything you talked about, including throwing up a blood sac as it was playing dead. It hissed EXTREMELY loudly and bluffed me, before it gave up, turned belly up opened it's mouth stuck out it's tongue, and went completely motionless. I flipped him over a couple of times and lol, he kept just going belly up again. Finally I just left him alone, stood about 10 feet from him, and waited for him to do the coast is clear thing hehe. It took about 7 or 8 minutes, but he finally scampered upon his way. And yes, he bluff struck at me, I'd say about 10 or so times, before he played dead. He was freaking hilarious! And gross. He made a mess all over himself when he played dead. Still hilarious tho. And before anyone on here wants to say something negative, NO I did not hurt him, Nor would I ever do that to a snake. And the only reason I messed with him alittle, is because hognose snakes are fairly rare and knowing what I know about them, I wanted to see if it was all true. Lmao, yes...Yes it is! They are such funny little snakes! This was in Southeast Missouri bythway, about 20 minutes from the Arkansas State line, and about 20 miles from Poplar Bluff Missouri.
They're too cute!!
Their so adorable :3, I can't wait to get a baby western hognose I do have a 10 gal tank at the moment and can you use coconut fiber substrate as a bedding??
Syntax Error Yes you can! Just be sure to keep it dry as they prefer well-drained soils in the wild.
@@SnakeDiscovery what happens when a Hognose snake ( western ) bites?
@@aubreysummers1729 The saliva of a Western Hognose Snake does not contain cytotoxins, neurotoxins or hemotoxins that are harmful to people. There has never been a death caused by a Western Hognose Snake bite. There are cases of Western Hognose Snakes bites causing mild allergic reaction, similar to a wasp or hornet sting.
@@MidnightHedgehog365 thanks!!!!
How about shredded paper?
My hoggy Snoop Dawg finally ate after a month! Keepers: Reptilinks Frog Juice works wonders. Make sure pinkies are the right temperature by touching them before feeding!
The Eastern Hognose has all but disappeared here in east TN. I haven't been able to confirm their presence, not even with road kills for about 20 years now. Sadly the last I found was a road kill about 20 yrs ago.
They are so beautiful and cute lol
I was telling some people about Hognosed snakes yesterday and gave them the link to this video. Then while moving some junk in the yard today we found a Hognosed snake! She was kinda cute, We took pictures of her and set her free.
Please do one of these videos on garter snakes! I'm getting one or more, and I want to know everything about them! Please please please teach us how to care for and breed garters! Mine, unfortunately, have to be wild caught because there are no breeders in my area, and they are completely native here, so I want to try to breed them to give a captive bred option!
I just love the color of the albino westerns
They're so cute😂
The hissing snakes sound like me, when it's winter and cold and snowing.
Haha. Did that snake just jump. 😍😍😂😂😂😂
When you tried the different substrates did you end up staying with aspen? Or a mix? I hate how aspen sticks to everything. Curious now, you should do a new video now testing all sorts of substrates!
"They don't move very fast"
Someone didn't tell the Hognoses at Imperial Reptile and Exotics in Orlando. I'm looking into getting a hognose and visited them, and when I asked to see their hognoses they took one out to show. It kept trying to run off and explore the store and it was really quick.
