Frozen pinky getting owned!

HognoseVsPython Jul 26, 2006 07:02 PM

Here is a picture of my (red phase) Hognose basically showing a frozen parapalegic pinky whos boss!

Justin, this is a female hog (red) 66% het for albino that I bought from you earlier this year. (The picture is 6 months old btw.) It was the hognose that only ate live and didn't eat very often. I now have her eating 1 to 2 "frozen" pinks a week. The red color seems to fade in and out as she sheds. Sometimes the colors weak, but after a shed its back full in effect brick red. Thought you'd like an update.

Nice i wish mine would eat like that. So you live in NJ too?

I wish mine ate like that "all the time". Yes I live in NJ. I currently live in Toms River, but am moving to Delran next month.

I think NJ gives Hogs problems. Mine tend to fast most of the winter no matter what the temps are. Yours?

It's great when they are good feeders.

My 06 female het pounds 3 pinks every 5 days.
