Such pictures as this, indicate to me, this material is what they use.


It does not take a genius to understand, this is not sphagnum moss. This is EXACTLY where my hogs are from, so my testing is in context to what is natural to them.
What westerns do or use is most likely closely related, but another story. I will test this with westerns in the future. Or you can beat me to the punch and do it now. You have the ability(at least I made the mistake of thinking you do)
At this time, I am testing what I know works well with other colubrid species, then I will compare these results to the materials above. I most likely will test sphagnum last, as so many of you use it and the results are available.
What you do here, attempting to discredit, dismiss theories, is STUPID. First off, you do not have to be smart to do this, ITS SIMPLE. You do not have to be an advanced field biologist to test this, ITS SIMPLE. You do not need to have some complicated theory, hypothesis to test this. ITS SIMPLE.

Please understand, this is a simple test, based on real and basic evidence. The worse case result would be, my hogs lay eggs in sand, no differently then in sphagnum. I am willing to take that risk. Best case, I will be lucky enough to observe species specific behaviors based on hognose adaptions and behavior. Even luckier would be, it improves nesting and depositing of eggs, and lowers the chance of egg binding.
