Wow! He is amazing! Where did you get that? Since it is a Hognose does that mean it is rear fanged?
Congrats on the great new addition!

I feel pretty lucky to have the opportunity to have him... yes he is rear-fanged, and he was purchased from Kevin and Denise of Urban Squamata in BC... Of all the hoggies available, I believe we Albertans are only permitted the Giant Malagasy and the Spectacled.

I have not verified it as yet, but have been told that we may also have the Malagasy Blonde, and some of the central/south american species. I offered him a small thawed small rat yesterday, and while he hissed at it and pushed it away with his body while I held it in the forceps, he took it and consumed it when I was not watching.

The male CD rat snake does the same thing. The female grabs no problem and can hammer back a couple very quickly. The male however is left with a couple mice and eats while your not watching  At least they eat, I don`t mind how they want to do it |

Took some pictures of him today, these were the only two that turned out. He kind of wheezed at me, but no real hissing or puffing up.   Thanks for looking :> |
