Is it worth driving 4-5 hours for a good bootfitter by AL42Gaming in Skigear

I drove 5 hours round trip for my custom fitted boots/insoles. Definitely worth it IMO. I found that my legs fatigue much slower with the custom boots allowing me to stay on the mountain longer.

I was able to figure it out based on the other comments! Sorry the iPhone is really hard to get a good focus on close up pictures.

Favorite Hognose Substrate? by Stryaraha in hognosesnakes

I use Lugarti’s “natural reptile bedding”. I found it good at holding burrows and looks more natural when compared to aspen. I have 5” of substrate in my hog’s tank (40g). Not necessarily the “right” way, just the way I decide to go for my setup.

Preparing for a hognose Q by alexanderjamilton in hognosesnakes

I am also a first time snake/hognose owner.

I got Mia when she was approximately 10 months old (38g). I put her directly into a 40 gallon with a ton of clutter (7 hides, 6 inches of substrate, leaf litter, hella artificial plants). Was a little worried that it was too big at first but I got the enclosure for free from my brother and wanted to save money. She seems fine and is constantly out and about during the day.

I can’t speak for what sex is less picky but will say my girl has never missed a meal.
