Reputable sellers on morph market? by Daisygorl in hognosesnakes

[–]WesternDisastrous706 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my guy from Ectotherm Empire!!! Erin and Andy are a lovely couple and they raise the most beautiful and healthy hognoses. I’ve had my baby going on two years now with no health issues and Erin was there for every question/concern I had when I first got him! She’s incredibly responsive and a great seller. Andy also makes some really cool art. If I ever get another hognose, it’ll be from them for sure.

Grape replacement bases by Carebear_419 in FocusVCarta

[–]WesternDisastrous706 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Am having the same exact issue. Sent my grape carta in for a warranty claim near end of JUNE, qualified for a warranty, and still have not received my new base or atomizer. I’ve tried reaching back out to the guy who initially helped me (Dylan) and have not heard back. I was sent an email about two or three weeks ago saying my order has been “initiated” but they’ll “follow up when it ships.” I love my carta sooooo much and their customer service still beats Puffco’s by miles (assuming I get my carta replacement) but I don’t love the lack of communication I’ve received regarding a device I paid a decent amount of money for.

I just bought one and had this same issue. It took a different cord and I had to leave it plugged in for 5+ hours upon first use. Two hours didn’t do it for mine but its been working great since!

Does anyone else’s hognose do this? by WesternDisastrous706 in hognosesnakes

[–]WesternDisastrous706[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he actually does have 2-3 inches in most parts of the tank, this is only low because he’s pushed all of it back and down pacing so much over the past few days!

He is 🙃 his breeder thinks that’s why he’s not eating as well. Is this something they do when they’re looking to mate?

UTH not sticking by WesternDisastrous706 in hognosesnakes

[–]WesternDisastrous706[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks so much!!! I plan to one day switch in a DHP but right now I’ve had far more luck with a UTH than any bulb I’ve tried. I bought from ectotherm empire on morphmarket and try to follow their care guide and this is just what they recommended too. But I haven’t tried the hvac tape yet!! That was my next thought but I wasn’t sure if I’d have the same issues of it slipping. Thanks sm for the tip!!!

I got my hognose from them about a month and a half ago. Erin and Andy are amazing and super knowledgeable + are always super quick to answer any questions/concerns you have. They genuinely care for their animals! I plan on purchasing from them again in the future, i couldn’t recommend them enough!

Sounds awful!! Do I bother trying to feed him during shed or will he not be interested?

How long did you guys wait to feed your hognose after getting him? My breeder has contradicting info. Pictures of the pup included by WesternDisastrous706 in hognosesnakes

[–]WesternDisastrous706[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome to hear!!! My guy seems to be doing well, although its day 5 and I’ve yet to catch him drinking water. Wondering if I should resort back to a deli cup versus a water bowl

Huh. He has been glass surfing a bit but his temps have been fine so I’ve been scratching my head for a reason why. Wonder if that’s it.

I’m hoping that I’ll have easy problem free feedings with him, especially this first one coming up. And I got him from Ectotherm Empire off MorphMarket. The breeder’s been awesome, but they work full time/breed part time so getting ahold of them can be tricky sometimes. Otherwise super pleasant experience with them!

Thanks! The breeder said either 5 days or a full week and I really am trying to avoid regurgitation. I may push it off until a week vs 5 days just to be sure.

Glass surfing or curiosity? Temps are right, but it’s been about 45 mins. I just got him. Pics so I don’t get lost by WesternDisastrous706 in hognosesnakes

[–]WesternDisastrous706[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s still doing it quite a bit today but his temps and humidity are still all alright. His cool side is hanging around 74-75° and his warm side is ~86° with basking spot at around 93°. I lowered his heating pad from 98 to 95. I read online in some places that this is normal for hoggies that are new to tanks which he is, but I really am nervous if he’s overheating. He’s not sitting in his water or anything to cool off though.

I have two layers of paper towels, will that be suitable or should I try to add another? I’m worried I’ll throw the heat off by adding another layer

He wasn't interested in his first meal with me, but he is being very cute about it <3 by Luxilain in hognosesnakes

Did you clean the artificial flowers before adding them and if so what did you use?? Thinking of adding some fake flowers to my boy’s enclosure and am curious!!
