Congratulations on your acquisition. They are alot of fun.
To answer your questions; My hoggs will puff, hiss, and sometimes strike. When they do strike it is always closed mouth. Secondly, I never recommend double clutching. Think of a woman having another baby 9 months after giving birth. Snakes will often fast while carrying and the health of the snake is always jeopardized. Bluntly, it is just not fair to the animal to be put through such stress. Brumating may not be necessary, but definitely beneficial. I hibernate mine. I hope I helped and enjoy your new animals.
