My Dorothy has Arthur in her back, The upside.. She keeps the house at 80 all the time.
Who needs cage heating when the whole house is a sauna 24/7 ?
And no I'm not euthanizing her anytime soon. and even though I am tempted to euthanize the kids at times, Its not legal
Sometimes it can be uplifting to care for any animal that would otherwise not make it in the wild.
A blind milk snake for instance will live far longer and more comfortable in the care of a compassionate human than in the wild.
Mother nature follows Darwin's law to the letter. An albino snake will occur in the wild, but without camouflage to keep it hid, predators like birds will eat the Albie first.
Whereas in captivity albinism is heralded and prized in reptile collections. so Albie can live many years, see a doctor when ill, be assured of a steady food supply, etc..
Make sure the ramps to the hide box have railings (me bad)
Good luck with your hog nose Katie.
