I have been waiting for these little ones to hatch. I went and picked her up yesterday. They have such cute little faces you can't help but fall in love with them. This is just my first, I plan to get a couple more.
I also picked up a licorice(sp) stick black rat. He is in shed right now. I will get his pic up later. He is going to be awesome. I love how the adults look. It seems like I just can't stop. I keep seeing snakes that I fall in love with and have to get. Oh well my addiction won't harm me.

Great Hoggie!! They are great pets. Little attitude but never aggressive. And the best part is that they are great photo object. My female is slight bigger than her 35 inch cage

Here is South FL I use to see a lot of Hog Nose snakes arounf, but I don't see them as often as I use to. Few people realize that they are a venomous snake, but pose little danger to humans (as long as you have no allegies to their venom). They are a great snake with really cool behavior traits. I kept a wild caught one a few years back and it took him months before he would stop "playing dead" every time I went to work in his cage, it was great!

Spardawolf Jul 13, 2004 08:33 AM
