the poop face part made me

Very cute! I assume your hoggie is doing good? Mine stopped eating and I got worried so I gave her to a more experienced reptile owner in Dallas. She was also lethargic and skinny...he didn't seem overly worried though so hopefully nothing has happened to her. I do miss her though!

This picture makes me miss her :( But it is a uber uber cute picture!!

Yep he's doing spectacular. He's grown a lot and a good eater. He's getting fatty and cute.
Sucks about yours. Sometimes there are just snakes that are bad eaters. :C

Glad to hear he is doing so well! I wanna see an actual picture of his fatty self LOL Maybe males in general are better eaters than females...

No sex has nothing to do w/ it. If anything females (snake wise) end up larger/longer than males. Yours just probably was a bad eater to beguin with. It's pretty common.

I may post pics soon. None I've taken are really good as of late.

Larger with most species that is.

That is true, and hoggies are known to be problem eaters. At least for the year I had her she was a good eater. Didn't mind me taking pics of her chowing down either.

Yeah my dude inhales fuzzies like air. He's a champ.
Never heard about that. Usually ever batch has runts that don't like to eat and sometimes don't survive.

I think our household is just to busy for a snake. She always seemed to hide and be nervous, bluffing and such.

Maybe she does have a timid nature. Pumba is bold and outgoing. He's pretty huffy and angry but he doesn't hide. The first week, yeah. But after that he's all over the place.

Maybe in a few more years I will try again for a snake. Dunno if I will get another hoggie considering their possibility to be picky and such though.

Uh, every snake can end up timid, bad eater, aggressive, ect. It's unfortunately a hit and a miss. Good examples, mine and your snake.
It happens. It's not a species thing.

Guess that is very true. Though from talking to other hoggie owners and breeders it seems the pickiness factor and hard to get them to eat factor are often to happen with that species.

Well sometimes some species more than others, yes. But make sure you ask a seller if they are eating good or not. Sometimes they can provide sheets of how many times they eat/poop/shed since they were born (if still young). Some will lie to get you to buy. But I'm sure you'll find a good one when your ready. :3

Thanks for the tips! I will remember that next time I am in the market for a snake. I think next time I will be looking at a king snake...and probably not a "baby" snake.

As of right now I got 2 leopard geckos and a bearded dragon. I think the bearded is considered "old" for his species and so will probably wait until he is gone before even thinking of getting another reptile.

Oh yes. Just make sure when your looking that the buyer's are keeping their snakes warm. If you handle a cold snake it will be chill but when you bring it home and warm it up it can be a douche. Like my mom's milk.

I'm on the hunt for a BTS next July, hopefully. :3

You got some nice pro tips :) Thanks for the help and good look on your hunt come July!

Np. I learned a bit from going to a few conventions.
Thanks I'll need it. :3

looks like a cornsnake 8D

It's probably the overlay and oranges, but nope.

Aww, he is precious!<3 I dont know what it is about reptiles, but they're just too cute!

Oh maaaan, these guys are so cute *_*
Wish I could get my hands on one! I hear they make pretty good pets, if you can get them eating well.

As stated above every snake has a chance of being a bad eater. Maybe some species more than others.
But it can happen to any species lol.

Since their natural diet is more focused on frogs and lizards, I heard that baby hognoses sometimes have trouble taking to mice ... but I am not an owner, just a wanna-be, haha.
If that's not true, all the better, of course! I do understand that all species have the capability to be problem eaters, but it's my understanding that it's a little more common in baby hoggies. I just don't think it'd be a good idea for me to bring one into my life if it isn't already eating on mice.

They have
the cutest little shovel faces
and I hope there's a bunch at the next show I go to, so I can coo and fawn over the little babies.

Huh. I think my hog was born and raised on mice. I've heard of some only eating frogs, but not lizards though.
That's reasonable though. :3

I could be mis-remembering xD; I just know that mice aren't their natural primary food source.

No I think your right. We just don't have that sort of food here or I would offer some frogs every now and again. :3
I love watching snakes eat not so normal food. Garter snakes eating fish, ect. :3

Aw, he's got a happy face. :3

EEEE! I want one :3 So cute.

He is the bestest snaky ever. <3

Been thinking about getting myself one some time in the future ^.^ Their faces= <333
