"I do not see anything natural or being a product of mimic, in how most people keep hognose. Non natural substrate, non natural food, non natural temps, non natural social and behavioral conditions, and non natural space. So I ask you, how is that mimicking nature? As a person that is observing them in nature, I just don't see natural in say, 90% of captive hognose husbandry "



Now you're getting somewhere. So then, what exactly would YOU call it that we are doing in captivity? You failed to mention that in your answer. See if you can do it with one or two words to describe it. I used the word mimic. What's your word Frank?
