Looking forward to more reports from your hognose.
I hope you try to use deeper substrate, up to 250mm or better yet 350mm. Then place a glass or clear plastic piece about 100 to 150mm down, make sure the snakes can burrow underneath it.
Often snakes choose to nest underneath the glass, and by moving the substrate, you can watch them lay with very little interruption.
THis is a deeper box, notice the sheds and the burrows.
I did have boards over the substrate, moved them for the pictures.
Here I moved the dirt away to see the eggs, which are underglass.
Heres a picture of kingsnake and her eggs under the glass. I have used this method, since the mid seventies with many many species.
You can test different depths and materials to determine what works best for you and your hogs. Thank you for sharing
