But you also have to remember that not all easterns are able to be switched over to mice. Some refuse to eat scented mice, and some refuse flat out to feed in captivity . They won't eat toads, frogs, mice, fish, caudata, or anything else that is offered. I feel that if he must have a hog, he should go for the western and the easterns should come later, IMO. Keeping a corn or some other snake might not exactly prepare him for the unique problems a hog can present, but it will at least give the keeper some experience with snakes period. Corns are, after all, a bit more forgiving than most snakes.
