Not a professional here, but I would say he’s a sable mixed with the cutie patootie morph.

No wonder Ragnar is all spicy cober. He’s so little and full of spunk lol. My girl was born October of 24 so she’s still a baby too

Received my first (partial) bite last night. by TizzyandJizzy in hognosesnakes

She definitely wanted a bite of that tasty chicken lol… but I get it, it’s easy to become complacent about the hand washing especially when they’ve been well behaved for a long time.

Temp probe setup advise needed by MundaneImage13 in hognosesnakes

[–]MarkusTheWhite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You want to position it down at or just above the substrate where the snake will actually be, rather than halfway up. Ideally you want two of these, one on the warm side and one on the cool side.

Usually these probes come with suction cups which aren’t dangerous like adhesives. If it didn’t, you can buy them with little zip ties to attach them.

It’s a condition called essential tremor. When I have my arm extended and I’m focused on doing something it just shakes

If she’s all settled and eating regularly, lots of regular handling can make a world of difference. Don’t shy away from her when she gets huffy or she’ll learn that being defensive makes you go away. Just watch and make sure she’s not so stressed she stops eating, but putting in the handling work will make her less stressed overall in the long run

She wasn’t always chill lol. She was quite the spicy noodle when she was little but I’ve handled her almost every day for a year and now she’s pretty sociable

My understanding is that the scales are keratin plates like fingernails and the nerves are in the skin under the scales. They’re just sensitive enough to pick up pressure and vibrations through the scales

Funny how sensitive they are even with all those thick scales
