500 - 800 grams

Habitat & Temperature

Ambient temperature of 80 - 85 degrees F.
Basking Surface temperature of 90 degrees F.

Humidity

35 - 45%

Where To Purchase?

Hognose are a common snake for beginners and are available at most brick & mortar pet stores and reputable online retailers.

Feeder Sizing

Hognose can generally eat 1 - 1.25x  the widest part of there body. However if your feeding 1.25x it's girth it's recommended that you make your feedings less frequent.  Be careful of what you feed your snake as certain rodents can have green belly, mites and other diseases if they weren't properly raised & euthanized before packaging.  

Available Premium Feeders:
We offer premium zoo quality veterinarian raised feeders such as Rats & Mice here in Canada but there are many other reputable suppliers if your located outside of the country.

Feeding Frozen Vs Feeding Live

Feeding a Hognose live rodents can be dangerous and is not recommended.  Captive bred snakes specifically, don't gain the instincts that they normally do in the wild and are much more susceptible to injury. If you leave live rodents in an enclosure with a snake that isn't hungry it may even get eaten by the rodents themselves.  Live rodents also carry potentially dangerous diseases and pathogens that frozen rodents are much less likely to have.  Lower temperatures help kill and prevent growth of diseases which is why it's not only recommended to use frozen feeders for your snakes safety but also your own health.
