Hognose cover lots of bases. One is shedding, they shed like a crot. Deep deep opaque and for a long period. Thick dark sheds and not very often, no matter how much they grow.
Or getting all pissy when the cage is soiled. They are quick tempered, yet get over it very quickly. I cannot remember having a snake yell at me to clean the cage. Hogs do.
I keep saying, that hognose should not be colubrids, but then colubrids are nothing more then a gathering of species with no where else to go. Yet. My bet is, they will be leaving colubridae sooner or later.
Yes, you are so right, They surely are different then kings. And in a good or bad way. I still can't tell which one it is yet.
When I first came here, I was all excited over how different they were then kings. And asked if anyone kept them in a way that would express that. That's when the wars started. I kept them in deep substrate(major burrowers right? With retes stacks, with over head lites, with bottom heat, etc etc. And in tiny shoe boxes. Oddly, they are different so far. They seem to base their activity on Mass heat. I am still working on that, in both the field and in captivity. Also males take some understanding. Best wishes
