This is the first Hognose I've ever owned, so I'm not familiar with little details that may be common for them and not other snakes. My girl constantly looks like she is swallowing. That sounds weird, but it looks similar to hour people swallow regularly; the muscles just behind her head move and her head bobs a bit. She seems totally healthy other than that, and it might be normal, I don't know. If it is an issue I want to correct it, but also if it's normal then I don't want to bring her to the vet or anything and get a bill for him to tell me nothing is wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
