the person you bought it from should give you a full refund! if not let us know whom it is and give us more details.

are you sure it was dead? they play dead regularly lol...

what were your temps?

Sorry to say this, but it was not a laughing matter. My temps were 70 at one side and 80 at the other. It was a six month old snake about as thick as a pencil when i got it 4 days later she died. Hognose are fat snakes. Look at the pictures of the other 6 month old snakes. When they play dead they lie on their back with their mouths open. She was curled up like she was sleeping and when i touched her you could feel the stench of death.

and not that you want to hear this now,but eastern hogs ar enot beginner snakes...great as they are,i would suggest something with simpler food requirements.
