>>Im gonna buy an easter kingsnake in a couple of days and i also took notice to hognose snakes as well...Can you guys/gals please give me your opinion on these snakes?
>>How big?
>>Aggressive??
>>Etc... Thanks alot


Western Hogs are certainly more docile than eastern kings (which are pretty docile anyway). An eastern king will be a better feeder generally, particulary when you are talking about males. Female western hogs a chow hounds, just like eastern kings but some male western hogs don't eat as often as other snakes.

Of course, there is a huge size difference. A giant female W Hog won't exceed 36 inches (see the pic of the giant a few posts above this). An adult male eastern king (males are larger in kingsnakes) could exceed 80 inches.
