continued...and I value your opinions and your input. I just don't get where by putting a few 'decorations' if that is what you want to call them, it works for me...but these 'decorations' are found is some hognose habitat. and I don't believe for one second that a few flat rocks or grasses or what ever, will affect their natural behavior...I just don't get it. and a nice flat rock will also be a place to offer food, hopefully less chance for ingesting substrate. I will use the sandy substrate you explained, and give them plenty of depth...and I asked you the questions I did, to get your input and put it to use. although I may tweak it a little bit, I still take it to heart. you seem to think I asked the questions, and totally ignored what you said...at least the way you worded it, that is how I took it. you said something to the affect before that you someone needs to tweak things, and make adjustments to get it perfect for the hogs...and all I will be doing is that exact thing, I will tweak it until I feel it is perfect for the animals...I also know how a good sized rock will hold heat, and that they make great basking spots under a uv heat light..and that is exactly what I plan on trying...among other things. so please don't think that I didn't take your observations to heart, because I did, and I am going to use them...but I do have a couple of my own ideas, and while you may not think so...I don't believe that my surface structures are going to affect their burrowing or natural habits. I look forward to more discussion Frank. and nothing but respect to you, and because we may not agree on everything here, I think it is important that we both are after the same thing here....but our course of getting there may be a little tweaked from one to another...good day sir.
