RE: Breeding weight & Male to Female ratio

In the wild, I have found gravid females that weigh as little as 110 grams (that is with eggs). However, most gravid females that we find here in MN are between 150-200g. We have yet to find a wild western hognose (gravid or not) that is over 210 grams.



* Just a FYI, I wouldn't breed my female hognose below ~200 grams. Males could easily go at ~40-50 grams.
