hognose cage size

lister8 Dec 31, 2007 07:20 AM

if i was to get a western hognose would it be ok to keep it a 15 gal plastic faunarium when it was an adult?
would the height of the cage matter?; the ones i am thinking of are not very high.
also has anyone got any advice for me (this will be my first hognose)

thank you

This is one of my 06 females.. The bump down on the bottom left is from a meal she just took..

Hognose snakes are terrestrial. Cage heighth is irrelivant, but the floor space is important. I would go with a twenty long so that you will be able to provide a proper heat gradiant.
