What these guys are trying to tell you, I will repeat. Let it go. Eastern Hognose prefer toads to all other foods. Getting a WC switched over to mice is virtually impossible. Since it is getting close to colder weather, you will have a bugger of a time finding toads soon. Know what that means? Your snake will starve to death. I agree with the suggestion to get a CB western to start with but if you simply must have an eastern, go buy a cbb eastern that was started on pinks and has never seen or smelled a toad.

Also, You need to chill out. You asked for advice and didn't like what you heard. Know what? It happens to all of us. The best bet is to LISTEN to the advice you are given by people who have done this for years. For instance, I REALLY REALLY want cat geckos but they are harder to acclimate and I was given the advice that unless I have lots of time to take with their care that I shouldn't do it. Know what? I don't own any cat geckos. I listened to a person who has years more experience than I have, and if he has a hard time with them..I will too.
