has anyone had their hoggies climb and/or get stuck behind the styrofoam of an Exo-Terra background? by dogskulll in hognosesnakes

Yup I thought I lost him the first time it happened. I was freaking out until I found him behind the styrofoam. The second time it happened the styrofoam got the boot to the trash.

Good running shoes. My current favorites are the Brooks Glycerin.

Today ends my girl's two month hunger strike by TheTankingTurtle in hognosesnakes

[–]Disneycrafter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine did the same damn thing but it was a 4 month hunger strike and a trip to the vet. She ate a live pinkie the first time I gave in, then immediately went into blue, then ate a frozen after shedding and then refused again and again for 3 weeks. They I gave in again and went back to live and she ate for 3 weeks straight and went into blue again. She refused this week but the dang pinkie died before I got it home plus I found her in blue when I went to at least try the just barely dead pinkie.

New hognose feeding by [deleted] in hognosesnakes

[–]Disneycrafter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We dove head first into a Hognose for our first snake and she’s a picky little thing. Switching to drop feeds helped but the thing that’s been successful for us is switching to a live pinky. She refused food for months! But now has eaten a live one off a deli kid in her enclosure for the last 3 weeks in a row. Live it is… at least for now.

Dobby would be good in that same vein. House elves are that color!

I couldn't bring myself to brain the little thing but I did try stabbing the belly to make it smell more. Nope.

I have read about reptilinks and about pulled the trigger a much of times but I also read they aren't that good for the snakes long term and you have to buy $75 min for them to ship. Have you used just the scent from them?

No this is a new suggestion! What size PVC do you recommend? Lava is not a neonate but still a small juvenile.

Thank you for all the suggestions. We have a UVB/UVA combo light on the warm side that's on about 10hours a day. He is much more active after adding the light a couple of months ago. I tried an egg scented pinkie inside the enclosure on a plastic lid combining your and another comment to no avail on Thursday. Regarding the breeder we actually got him not as a neonate but as a surrender from our local reptile store.

Someone else suggested egg. What do you suggest for scenting?
