I just got a baby western hog two days ago, and it was only a couple days old. Its funny though, because she didn't hesitate at all to feed when I gave her a pinkie. By the way, beautiful snake. =)
Isn't it crazy how snakes can go 2-3 months without eating? Its crazy! Love to see people owning this wonderful pet! Such great personality they do have! How is he doing now that its 2 years later?
O.o the western hog nose seems like the dumbest Snake ive seen on youtube why does it eat from the side isnt that harder eating head to body or body to head?
@midknighdgn Nobody ever claimed he was smart, and if you haven't seen a snake try and eat something sideways before, then you probably have never had to care for one.
Beautiful snake! My male hognose, Harley, stopped eating for a while. Tuna didn't work... however... (and this will sound weird)... he will eat when I hold him (usually on my bare tummy) and he gets warmed up... and I feed him by hand while still holding him. The only snake I have to do that with. (My female NEVER refuses a meal & now she's 3x bigger than the older male.) She'll even try to eat fingers, noses, hands, tummys. ;) I named her Piggy Sue for that reason.
I saw your video, and I have a western and he did not eat at all for about 8 months, and he started loosing weight. I saw this and I dipped a mouse in tuna juice and not only did he eat the mouse, he also wanted to eat the paper towel that had juice on it as well. I fed him two mice today dipped in tuna juice. Thanks for sharing it was so very helpful
@melster16jason keep in mind we had offered him toads and newts of appropriate size. He even lived with an anole in his cage for 3 months (to no avail) durring his fast.
It's funny, when I first posted a comment about your video 3 weeks ago I hadn't owned a hognose yet. I just got a month old Tricolor Hognose a few days ago and the breeder told me to tuna scent a pinkie. I did and the Tricolor took right to it in a few minutes. Great trick!!!
Maybe I'll put up a video in the future. Easterns are great snakes. I really like them. I'm thinking about getting a Western this summer. They have such interesting personalities and are hard to resist.
Planning on doing a little skit on each of them with some commentary, right now i'm just focusing on getting my vids back up. youtube shut me down you see.
ahhh, I see... yeah they seem to be doing that alot to people. were you making political vid's ?? or did they kick you off for copyright laws or somth'n ?

The way I feel is get them young and it will accustom them to being a part of your family, and will keep the snakes stress level down for life.

yes cos they eat toads and frogs so the smell of fish would probley excite the snake

Hey...If you can find out where to get an Eastern Hognose let me know..I like them better because of the darker colors...

Would love to see your tri-color! Perhaps a video? We're looking into the Easterns right now. Good stuff man.
