Hognose snakes are cool, but I have not even seen one for 10 years. Not sure where his comment came from. I work with black-headed pythons and eastern indigos. Usually, I learn from your posts and several others on this forum. It is all good. I have applied many "monitor ideas" to my herps. Heavy feeding, temperature choices, access to high temps. My snakes reach adult size much more quickly. Maybe someday I will even pick up a pair of ackies.
