I blame all of you for posting your pics of neat little snakes! I've got an adult pair of Westerns coming next week and will probably be coming here a lot with questions. I've been keeping snakes for around 15 years and always shied away from Hognoses due to the reports of feeding difficulties but this pair eats f/t mice readily so I had to get them. I'll be sure to post some pics once they get here and get settled in. I checked out some care sheets and the few questions I have so far are-
-Do you ever see a defensive display with Westerns like you do Easterns?
-Have you had any luck with double cluching (the female just laid 15 eggs?)
-Do you brumate your breeders? I read on one of the Hognose sites that snakes in the southern part of their range may not brumate.
Thanks!
