You seem to have some knowledge of my varanid work. That work was also based on doing the same approach I took with other reptiles, like kings, and pythons and turtles etc.

The approach was, not to listen to opinions, mine or otherwise. and to test. Don't confuse that with not being aware. I was aware, I simply did not let my or other peoples OPINIONS, influence the tests I was doing. My approach completely changed the world of varanids. Happily that's not the snake world. When I started working with varanids, very few were bred in captivity. One zoo reptile curator, published that five species were captive bred and 58 neonates hatched. Within five years, we here captive produced 18 species, that included all continents, from the smallest to amoung the largest, In ONE year.

Hognose are not in that world. they have been bred for decades and by hundreds upon hundreds of people. I will end with, think about the animals, if you want to improve your results. After all, they are the ones doing the work. Your only task is to support them. Try to support them by using what they know. They are experts at being hognose. You, not so much of an expert. Your just their janitor. best wishes
