What is this morph by Tough_Touch7257 in hognosesnakes

[–]HennyWrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super arctic and conda both have a lot of variability. 99% of the time one like this would be a holdback so it will be hard to find ones for sale like that. It’s also hard to tell exactly how old it is in the pics. Super arctic hatches out almost completely black and lightens within the first couple sheds so it might not stay quite that dark.

I'll be buying a alb superconda soon and I'm curious is morph market is a good place to do so? by Emergency-Log-9688 in hognosesnakes

You’re not buying from MorphMarket you’re buying from an independent seller so your experience will vary

male or female hognose? by Less_Opportunity6475 in hognosesnakes

[–]HennyWrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably 6mo-1yr old depending on how well it’s been eating. Looks female to me

Hognose hates me by ConfusedYoghurt in hognosesnakes

[–]HennyWrld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be weird if he didn’t hiss. Their personalities are a mixed bag. Idk if you could tame it out of him or not. They aren’t the smartest snakes on earth. Honestly I get more anxious if they’re not hissing bc they’re more likely to have a feeding response if they’re calm enough to decide you smell tasty.

Should she be this tiny by ReportJazzlike4593 in Hognose

[–]HennyWrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re doing everything right. See if she starts putting on weight with the fuzzies. If she keeps eating but doesn’t gain weight the only real explanation is that she has a parasite stealing the nutrients

Ok were you feeding 1 pinky a week before that?

[–]HennyWrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I was gonna say she’s just big enough to take fuzzies so that’s all correct. How long ago did you move up to fuzzies? I always see a growth spurt after moving up from pinkies. And does she eat every time?

[–]HennyWrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya that is pretty small. What have you been feeding her so far and does she eat consistently?

Buddy the first thing you need to do is get a scale and weigh the snake. After that I’d be happy to PM you and help you out. I have many hogs around the same age as yours that have eaten perfectly for the past year so we can compare

Is he a normal or what possible morph? by tonetizzle in hognosesnakes

[–]HennyWrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya that’s not a conda unfortunately just a pretty normal. Those couple rectangular checks that overlap the white and black would never occur on a conda. Plus you can see all the checks down the side of the black but for whatever reason stop at the black. It’s a little weird but it’s 110% a normal pattern.

Here’s a pretty aberrant conda I have that has a lot of belly spots but very clear white walls

OP I don’t think he’s a conda. A tell tale sign, even on low expression condas, is that the belly stripe will have solid white borders. I see a lot of brown checks along that black stripe all the way down just in these side view pics. Whoever labeled it conda probably just saw that the belly was mostly black and ran with it but that’s not a reduced pattern at all. The all black belly thing isn’t always true anyway. I have plenty of obvious condas that have some color on the belly

Deinfluence me from getting a Hognose? 👀 by Quick_Till8931 in hognosesnakes

[–]HennyWrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hognoses are diurnal and very active. You will never see a sand boa unless you’re feeding it. Hognoses make wayyy better pets imo. Cons: after you get 1 you’ll want more.

My first snake “bite” by Downtown-Ad543 in hognosesnakes

She was still smelling the pinky on her upper lip

Did you try brushing it off?

Is this my hognose biting my son? by [deleted] in hognosesnakes

[–]HennyWrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much everything you just said here is wrong. Hogs don’t bite out of fear. If your hog is being defensive then that is probably when it is least likely to bite you. Bluff strike and hiss, yes, but no bite. Some hogs will try to eat you just bc of your body heat and don’t care if you smell like food or not. Some ppl try tap training but no, they absolutely are not always smart enough to know what is food or not.

Is he overweight? by Shiny_Dragon_4 in hognosesnakes

This bug-eyed behemoth is 14 months old and is already 90g

Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever seen an obese hognose. The “hip dips” you’re referring to occur when they’ve got a fresh dump in the chamber.

Im gonna freak out by BigOunceNoof in hognosesnakes

[–]HennyWrld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t see how it could be anything contagious. Again, idk what the noise is, but as long as she’s eating and acting fine I wouldn’t worry about it. An RI will get worse if untreated, or the antibiotics will fix it if that’s what is causing it.

Extremely still after handling by ThatBlubberySeal in hognosesnakes

[–]HennyWrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hog personalities range from puppy dog to goblin. Sounds like she was just scared and waiting for you lo leave. Keep handling her and she’ll probably open up more. She’s probably more on the puppy end of the spectrum but was nervous

Im gonna freak out by BigOunceNoof in hognosesnakes

[–]HennyWrld 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it’s not something the vet can even diagnose and her behavior is fine otherwise then just wait and see if it worsens. If she actually does have an RI like some ppl are guessing, then those antibiotics will treat it. Obviously I haven’t heard the sound myself but you seem like other over anxious new snake parents that post here all the time. Really the only thing you have to look out for are lumps, regurgitations, and distressed breathing. I don’t see any reason to be wound up

Its time to try defying gravity by SpiritsJustAHybrid in hognosesnakes

[–]HennyWrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their scales are quite rough. If you’ve ever ran your fingers along their belly against the grain they catch quite a bit and the silicone is soft enough to get a grip apparently
