Seriously, when this thing buried it's nose in the sand I instantly fell in love.

It's freaking adorable.

[TracingGhost]

Harmless? as in they will never attack humans?

[microiguana]

it's funny how at 1:00 she is just finishing saying that the females are larger, and this is obviously a FEMALE, and then she proceeds to refer to her as "him" and "these guys".

[slyknot]

And the second thing is ,I think she is Short before shedding .They look bigger and heaver before shedding

[ThreeMakesPerfect]

[BigSidVNOF]

I just bought a western hognose yesterday. Hes 1 year old, about 16 inches long, and his gerth is the size of a dime. He's awesome. I wonder how old this Hognose is. Certainly seems to be fully grown.

[geckokid94]

@BigSidVNOF do you know how big males and females get

[yuke15]

@geckokid94 males up to about 20 inches. females up to around 32, i believe the record is 35

[eLO419]

[lola26granola]

I saw a baby of this kind and it was soooo cute!

[spitfireMK22]

[bANKINGhO]

[Pieishman]

I know, mines 5 yrs old and is only half this big!

[AllieKat816]

[Drinutdi]

you shouldn't place these snakes on sand they can swallow it and it may harm them

[zadV251]

it actually does not look like sand. More like english walnut which is safer, this lady is smarter than all the other "experts" on this channel.

[Pieishman]

thanks for the advise, zadV251. I used to use "calci-sand" in my hoggie's tank but it kept clogging her nostrils. I got the walnut and its great!

[Saladsrising]

im so pissed, my babby hog nose died when it got a wood chip stuck in its fang

[Pieishman]
