Don't let anyone make you feel bad. I asked about one of my hogs here about a month ago, too bad I didn't have a photo. Hognose are like any other animal, and people too, nobody's 100% male or female chemically, physically or visually! Since then my "female" has let out sperm plugs and slimmed out a bunch. I was probably feeding him too much, considering I bought a "female" after all! Counted the scales, 40 scales, in comparison to a female, I counted 30. Actually counting scales could be helpful in those odd in-between cases...I think I alluded to this in my original post but nobody answered...



I agree most hogs are very easily visually sexed, probably the vast majority (90-95%). But I'll be damned if somebody's going to make me feel bad for being unsure on one of them. Especially when it was sold as a female from an old timer in the snake community. (Who I don't fault. At all. He is awesome!) I commend you on being diligent enough to save the eggs too, some people ignore their males (not insinuating anything about anybody over here in the hog area, chill your pills guys).
