Hi, I'm thinking about getting into westerns, but the shop that I go to says that they're cannabalistic? They started with 5 and now have 2 in seperate cages. Are they just frequented by thieves? I really like westerns, but I don't have room for all that seperate cage business. Any opinions? Thanks!

Under the confines of captivity it is not unusual for a Hognose to eat another. I consider keeping two hognoses together a pretty big risk. I find it hard to believe that you can't find room for another 10 gallon tank. Or you should wait until you get more space.

Use clear Rubbermaid containers with holes. You can stack two on top of one another to save space.
