Just browsing the hognose classifieds...seeing a trend with the ads for the trickier species like southerns and easterns. The seller making some holier-than-thou statement like, "The snake is eating toads because I don't believe in the practice of 'tricking' it into eating something different."
But a load of BS. Funny how I don't see that baloney being spewed on ads with western hognose, which if I recall, are also natural amphibian eaters. In fact, I don't think any snake on the planet naturally eats white laboratory mice.....and yet...hmm...
Personally, I think this is just a lame excuse to not even attempt to convert the hog to a rodent diet, and still charge a high price. I know people have the right to price an animal however they please, but its the principle. I'm calling it how I see it, and what I see is hypocrisy. If you don't feel up to the challenge to converting its diet, just say so and advertise it as a toad-eater. Don't put yourself on some hollow pedestal just because you're lazy.
