Hognoses like smaller enclosures. It's not very uniform. I've got one female in a tub that's about the floor space of a 40 gallon, and she's happy and feeds regularly, but I have another female who quit eating when I put her in the larger tub so she lives in a tub the size of the ones in this video. Most of the breeders I've talked with say that tubs about this size are best. They hang out in holes and under leaf litter in the wild. They like feeling secure
I have found that mine stop eating reliably when they’re in larger enclosures.. they are in racks, that said I do provide hides and deep enough bedding for them to burrow since they are fossorial but I can understand on this scale that would be harder to do.
Thank you for your video. I will be starting to breed in couple of weeks. I live on a really hot city with no winter, so getting ready a fridge just for cooling.
I’m not trying to be rude and I don’t know everything but are you sure that the tub the females are in is large enough because they look quite large and don’t look like they can stretch out all the way, I heard that the snake should be able to stretch along the longer and shorter side with a bit of room so that they can stretch out if they want. Again I don’t know everything but I don’t think that the females cage is large enough for a permanent cage. Tell me if I’m wrong please!
Allahja Flowers I do understand this. I also hate big snakes in cramped enclosures, which is why when I start breeding, I plan to keep them in larger enclosures. Gotta stop all the big snakes in cramped spaces stuff.
Do you notice the head bobbing at all with your snakes when no member of the opposite sex is present? I have 4 Westerns, 2 males and 2 females and all 4 display the head bob when I gently rub my finger under their chins.
Thank you for the information. I also plan to breed hornets next month. By the way, are purple lines a different kind from purple ones? I think purple line is not darker than purple. What are your thoughts on the matter?
Since your snow male became breeding size, have you been able to produce snow anaconda babies with the double het snow female? In this video she looks like a anaconda morph.
I have a pair that I'm pairing right now and they've been locked for over 2 hours and I'm worried she is going to injure him or herself, because at this point she is actively trying to get away.
I will be getting female baby from this year clutch and in 3-4 years I plan on breeding my babies, but I am afraid that my female would eat the poor guy since it will be first time breeding for both of them :/ I aim for toffecondas have toffe boy possible albino and one parent was anaconda and will be getting supeconda girl that has extreme yellow albino superconda momma yet it is too far into future but I am already scared what would happen :/ any recommendation ?
I lost my female through cannibalism. The male was literally half her size and the pair and been mating that day. I went to check on them and found the female had been eaten and regurgitated up.
@@shannonxpennywise the male was 17" and the female was 32" and twice the girth of the male. In my mind I was nervous pairing them up because I was afraid the female would eat the male. He had managed to get over a quarter of her down before he spewed her back up.
I just looked this up because my female started bobbing her head in the presence of my male. She's still way too small to make babies, but it was interesting.
This video has been very helpful! Great info and straight to the point!
wow, that snow is gorgeous!
a99barnsey Thank you. He was the first snow we hatched
Very interesting video filled with hognose info thanks a lot
Heres Hetep Of course. Here to share information
trying my hand at breeding this year, thanks for such a comprehensive video about your process! Super helpful.
Good luck with your breeding
How did it go? I have a couple years to go! Raising up thems babies!
I would love to learnabout how you organize the snakes in the racks label cages and what type of record keeping program you use!!!
awesome, very informative stuff
Thanks this is awesome
All ways good to know, i will be a Western Hognose owner 26 decmber 2018 to a couple
😁
and they are 100% het albino 😊
I like those water dishes, where did you get them from?
Every time the snow at (5:13) sticks its tongue out at the females face... I think of Charlie the Unicorn 2...
Great video what size is the tub
Great video! Thanks for sharing
All the info I needed
After breeding, do the snakes get larger enclosures? They seem a little cramped.

how long do your females take to start feeding after brumation?
Also do you wait until they have fed before introducing the males?

Allahja Flowers I understand that, but lots of breeders have larger tubs for their larger snakes so they can still live a comfortable life

Love the vid. More please
Interesting, thanks for sharing
More information out the better
How bug of tubs do you keep those females in?
can one keeps a male and female hog together?
Wow beautiful snakes u have :)
Thank you for the information.
I also plan to breed hornets next month.
By the way, are purple lines a different kind from purple ones?
I think purple line is not darker than purple. What are your thoughts on the matter?
차차 Purple is a line bred trait. Purple is not a morph
Thank you so much I loved it
Very interesting!

Would giving the occasional feeder fish encouraged?

What time of the year do you breed them
Gaming With Si February/ March
How big it must be for adoult hognose? Heeeelp
Do you have to cool snakes?
Fascinating
how do you see if they are pregnant?
Mikkel Tromborg You can see when they are gravid when their scales start to separate and they feel like a stuffed sock
thx for the answer, but what if she's small
Mikkel Tromborg How many grams?
183 grams and 4 years
How do I get that labeling barcode scan system you have
It is old software that isn't sold anymore.

It is the risks of breeding. Many things can happen. Females are come egg bound, females can eat the male. Things that you have to be prepared for.
Doesn't any breed the red western beautiful snake
What morphs does it take to get a ghost?
Anery and Hypo
Do your hognose need lights?
can they be housed together?
Only during breeding season
I’m in SoCal can I email you for a price list for females
You can email me what you are looking for but I don't do price lists
I lost my female through cannibalism. The male was literally half her size and the pair and been mating that day. I went to check on them and found the female had been eaten and regurgitated up.
Andrew Llewellyn Your Male ate the female? I'm sorry to hear that
That's strange, it's usually the female who will eat the males.
Are you sure you didn't try mating a young female with an older male?...🤔
@@shannonxpennywise the male was 17" and the female was 32" and twice the girth of the male. In my mind I was nervous pairing them up because I was afraid the female would eat the male. He had managed to get over a quarter of her down before he spewed her back up.
Do you sell any?
Yes we do. You can find out what is available by going to our Facebook or Instagram page. Links are in the description
I just looked this up because my female started bobbing her head in the presence of my male. She's still way too small to make babies, but it was interesting.
And they will twitch sometimes
My male keeps avoiding my female for some weird reason. 😅
Male is either too young or he already bred her
She looks kinda like a lavender morph
Adult females in a v18? That’s to small for adult females and no room for a lay box.
You can turn the tub into a lay box and they are doing great and thriving. Thanks for commenting
