Hey Jonathan,
One important thing to remember is that we are talking about hognose snakes here, not kings, bulls, corns, or anything else. What applies to those species may not apply to hognose snakes. With that being said, if your husbandry is not up to snuff you may see issues with second clutches. And as much as you may not like it, FR has been breeding kings far longer than most. He is not a "pusher" so I can not see why he would disagree with what DISCERN is saying other than the fact he has never seen an issue in second clutch animals.

Something else to consider is the fact that DISCERN is not a hognose breeder. I am fairly certain that DISCERN only owns one male hognose snake. It is kind of like me telling people to keep and breed their ball pythons the same as I do hognose snakes.

I can tell you from plenty of experience with double clutching hogs that there is no negative aspect. If your husbandry is on par your second clutches will be just a perfect and healthy as your first clutches. That is why you have seen so many other hog breeders do it and you never hearing of these non-existent negatives DISCERN is talking about.

One of my second clutches from last season.
