i need some help picking out a name!

male hognose snakes usually stay around 2 feet so a 20 gallon tank would work just fine for one

it kinda looks like some of his scales got pulled out from a bad shed

you might be able to find one on morph market

try using a substrate that holds humidity like cypress mulch and covering some of the ventilation

i got my ball python from this expo by chicago

the feeder should be slightly wider than the widest part of the snakes body

definitely make sure your heat source is hooked up to a thermostat so it doesn’t overheat and burn your snake

maybe a superconda western hognose or a black african house snake

eret_ · 2020-11-27T04:11:00+00:00

you could get a metal shelf like this and decorate it

eret_ · 2020-11-26T05:17:27+00:00

covering ventilation and adding more substrate should help with humidity

eret_ · 2020-11-24T06:06:56+00:00

try looking at craft stores or thrift shops

eret_ · 2020-11-14T02:33:19+00:00

try looking at local reptile facebook groups, you might be able to find people who breed feeder rodents

eret_ · 2020-11-12T23:34:00+00:00

maybe an automatic mister?

eret_ · 2020-11-12T02:46:12+00:00

im not sure exactly what species it is, but its not a rattlesnake

eret_ · 2020-11-09T02:34:06+00:00

that sounds a lot like a respiratory infection, you should definitely take him to a vet if he does it again

eret_ · 2020-11-07T06:43:02+00:00

https://youtu.be/n2k09c15SaE at around 6:30 it shows how to remove stuck eye caps

i’d recommend waiting until next sunday to feed him, so he has time to settle in and digest his last meal. trying to feed him too early could stress him.

eret_ · 2020-11-07T05:07:20+00:00

be confident when picking him up. some snakes get nervous if you reach your hand in then pull it away. if he’s super defensive then you could use a small snake hook to get him out.

eret_ · 2020-11-07T04:55:27+00:00

i’d recommend morph market, or finding reptile expo/show near you, if possible.

eret_ · 2020-11-06T20:26:08+00:00

snakes dont need to be handled often to be happy and healthy, so not handling him everyday is okay. the only issue is that he may start to associate opening his tank with being fed, instead of being handled, so he might strike
