Hognose Triple Clutch....

krhodes Apr 11, 2008 04:13 PM

Anyone had a W. hog that has triple clutched? Have heard lots about doubling, but no tripling.

Thanks for your responses.

I'm sure it's possible-but it would take heroic efforts in feeding in order to pack enough weight on the female both before and during the season. I wouldn't try it-too dangerous.

I agree with Brad, double clutching is easy enough, but triple clutching is pushing it. I would think that most reasonable people would think about the health of the snake, and would not do this. The amount of calories they would have to consume would be incredible, and the stress and breeding future of the snake could be compromised.
