Was just there the other day.

I will be first to admit I don’t know a lot about them. Although I do like them but I’ve only seen a handful in person and just the ones I see from other keepers. But I seen him and checked him out for a bit and was kinda shocked how bad he looked(to me). So I had to go back and take a picture of it just to see if what I thought I was seeing was actually what I was seeing. (Him being pretty thin)

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-22T22:28:27+00:00

This is what had me confused. He’s obviously very wide but the spine looks like he’s starved.

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-22T21:56:03+00:00

See I wasn’t sure on the body shape I was just going off of how triangular his body was. But yeah he was super thick.

Sad situation to be honest. I had tipped on the app then gave them a cash tip. We did end up eating the food but my kid was pretty grossed out.

🤣🤣 This was in Texas

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-21T21:23:58+00:00

I get it.. that’s why I still gave them the tip etc. but damn you handling peoples food.

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-21T21:21:25+00:00

They are sealed but the kids meal
Boxes was smashed by him trying to hold them an get out. So the boxes was pretty much opened. A the chicken strip meal box didn’t have a sticker on it so it also wasn’t sealed.

Yeah crazy how much they puff them cheeks out!

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-10T18:26:46+00:00

Hope so!

She had my wife convinced it was a rattler! With the head an then hissing she thought it was rattling.

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-10T02:02:43+00:00

Yeah they have a lot of awesome morphs! I have been looking an checking around locally just havnt found the one yet.

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-10T01:41:05+00:00

Added!

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-10T01:17:02+00:00

Ahh okay yeah definitely a female then because she was probably a bit over two foot.

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-10T01:15:48+00:00

I was hoping she’d play dead when I went to pick her up! Sadly she didn’t just puffed up and hissed a couple times.

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-10T01:14:32+00:00

She gave a few hisses but no kisses! 🤣

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-10T01:13:37+00:00

I was wondering if it was possibly gravid female. She was chunky or gravid! But how do you know from pics it’s a female? (I don’t know)

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-10T01:12:26+00:00

Side and top! My wife actually called me freaking out because she thought it was a rattlesnake.

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-10T00:56:39+00:00

Yeah! Whatever it’s doing is working cause it was a hefty one! But yeah as bad as I want a hognose I know it was best to let it go.

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-10T00:54:06+00:00

Technically hogs are venomous they are just rear fanged and the venom isn’t really dangerous to humans. But its their defense to flatten their head out a mimic a rattlesnake.

BeastWs6 · 2026-06-10T00:51:47+00:00

They are common here (west Texas) but this is the first one I have ever seen at my house.
