This shows the holes made by the hognose.


While this may not be exciting to most keepers, for a field herper, to know what their holes look like is very important. Not kinda what they look like, EXACTLY what they look like.

Consider, when looking at their habitat, there are many holes made by many kinds of mammals, box turtles, other snakes, lizards etc. But to Know what hognose holes look like. Its easy, just use the same dirt they use and the holes will be the same.

Heres the female underground.



This picture is important because they do not stay on the side where there is lite, but will stay on the dark side. Next test is to cover the lite side and see if they burrow up against it. Cheers
