Funny thing is, I intended to redo this, to help folks understand.
When I came here, I clearly stated, I am not here for the same reasons as most of you. I am here to learn about hognose, if anyone have information on them in captivity. I also explained, I am not interested in Rack system hognose(no offense to that) I am interested in information that is specific to hognose and their adaptions. No offense to anyone.
My interests have always been about the natural behaviors of snakes and lizards. And at times, how that translates to captivity. That approach has resulted in many world first captive breedings, and many common techniques used today.
About hognose, I am not interested in morph breeding particularly, or competing in the market. I will keep a few and do like morphs. I have a long history with many morphs of many species. Hogs, not so much.
I did luckily stumble onto a grip of Mexican axanthic hognose in the field and plan on establishing them in captivity, if I am so lucky. It was not my intention at the start, in fact the first wild individual I observed is still in nature. I simply took its pic and watched it crawl away. I cannot sell them, so if I am lucky enough to produce them, I will gift them. That is, unless Game and fish, somehow allow me to sell them, which is highly doubtful.
Arguments are odd here. People somehow think I should change my approach, knowledge or experience understanding, based on them or what they have done. As you can see, I won't allow that. Its not about them, they can do what they want. Its because our goals are totally different. They get mad because I am different. About all I can say to that is, good luck with that. What ever my differences are, they are served me well when working with reptiles. And that is what this place is about, working with HOGNOSE.
Many of you want to Add to what I do or something, its common to read, FR, you refuse to, this or that. Please understand, I have been doing this captive breeding for over 50 years, and have seen a lot. And hognose were bred in captivity, since before I was born. So to add to what I have experienced is, well its not going to be easy. If anyone had/has something that benefits me, I will credit you and thank you for it. And I have. pt 1
