Hognose Housing

I've read a lot of ya'lls caresheets but I didn't see if you can house hogs together? Can you house young hogs in the same box? Can you house a breeding pair or trio together all year? Could you house two adult males together?

Not a good idea-house them seperately, for a variety of reasons, chief among which is the possibility of inadvertent cannibalism at feeding time, especially among young animals.

Canibalism? Really.

What do you do during breeding season? Do you keep them together for a couple days on and a couple days off with feedind during the off period?

Cannibalism is almost always (note I said "almost" inadvertent, and occurs when two snakes try to eat the same prey item.

Properly cycled snakes (even kingsnakes)can safely be left together for long periods during mating season, but yes, once again I always seperate them for feeding-males usually won't feed at all this time of year, however.
