Found a baby hognose today. Pretty sure it is an Eastern. The cat was trying to kill it, so I saved it. I would like to keep it, but would like to know the best way to set up an enclosure. It is only 6-7 inches long, and may be hurt, but has been pretty active. I put a little sand and a few pine twigs in with it. But I would like to set up something a little more permanent. Also, at that size, would I start with pinkies, or small frogs? Where can I find tiny frogs? Do I need a heat lamp/rock? Substrate? Water dish (size)? Any help is appreciated.

Also, I read in one place that they are non-venomous, but one place said they had a mild venom they inject into their prey? Any info?

Thanks in advance,
