I'm not a newbie here just a lurker and occasional poster. I have kept hognose, easterns in fact so I am well aware of their habits. The idea that a corn snake will get you ready to keep a hognose is just b.s. If you decide to get a hognose you will have to study up on them no matter when you get them. You will have to learn about scenting techniques, correct substrates, correct temperatures, etc. for the hognose and keeping a cornsnake will teach you absolutely nill about this. If you have your heart set on a hognose study up. If you can live up to the responsibility get one. If not, like he said get a corn or kingsnake. I noticed you have White's treefrogs. My eastern hognoses were switched to mice by scenting them with White's.
