THINGS TO CONSIDER ABOUT WESTERN HOGNOSES

[@faith-brad]

I have no exotic animals and probably won't ever have any, but I watch ALL of Taylor's videos and I'm genuinely gripped 😂 I just love her 🥰

[@Megan.Leigh.V]

SAME! 😜😂

[@audreylee5117]

same haha

[@brightestmoon04]

Literally me 😂

[@mrfish.-]

@taylornicoledean. You ain’t taylor 💀

[@rosieglows]

She's very likeable!

[@halpyhal]

I’ve been watching you since middle school and seeing how you’ve changed and what you’ve overcome is really amazing!

[@jayisghost5961]

Same here it’s crazy I still love her so much and am proud of what she’s overcome

[@narraticn]

me too!! i'm a senior in hs now about to graduate

[@annabananabones08]

I didn't find you until I was recommended your first addiction video. I went back and binged all of your videos and have been loving seeing your progress. Keep going, girl. You've got this

[@zardify_]

Holy shit that scrapped version compilation at the beginning was so perfectly wholesome and awkwardly authentic I love it, please make it a habit 😂😂

[@BeenieIsWayCool]

I don’t think u understand how much I needed this video today and how nostalgic it felt and how happy it made me! Seeing you doing good is amazing and I know u probably hear this a lot but I’m super proud of u for everything you have gone through and overcome and through all of it you still have this amazing love for animals and such a candid way of sharing information that is so entertaining!!! Love you!💕😁

[@lovelife4111]

Bloom where you’re planted. Move after you’ve been filming consistently; and if you feel secure in your resources, support system, and recovery. Just imo. Only you know what is best. ❤

[@amandathemystic1828]

“Bloom where you’re planted” I love that ❤️

[@emmxjustine]

This is amazing advice for so many situations ❤

[@hella__allie]

Taylor I’m glad you’re posting again. I hope you’re doing well genuinely. ❤

[@umok2940]

I’m so glad that you’re uploading again. I’ve been a fan of yours since I was like nine you inspired me to learn about reptiles and all the stuff. I’m so glad that you’re doing well. Love ya

[@bingus4life]

Same I started watching when I was like 11 and now I’m 16

[@thecarvalhome261]

When the tiktok of a guy showing everyone how they play dead first came out I remember my local reptile store having to put a sign on the door saying “no hognose snakes” even though they did indeed sell them because every teenager in the city suddenly wanted a snake that played dead. Thank you for this video. I had NO IDEA they made that sound and did false strikes. What a great informative video. Love you to death Taylor. Been a fan since you went to the pet expo and got your hognose xox also thank you for the frozen feeder recommendation. I nearly lost my ball python in 2009 to an infection because of feeding live. Never again. The breeder told me lice was the only “humane” way to feed a snake and let it “hunt” when the reality is a snake cannot “hunt” in an enclosure … it’s not possible. It’s either going to strike and eat or it’s not. Not only is frozen safest, but most humane for all parties involved.

[@manic_girl]

I love hognoses. They’re such adorable, sassy little guys. Celia in the grass killed me, she’s so cute!

[@MeliTheSagitt1922]

Love seeing you on my KZbin been a fan since you first started😭😭😭 you’ve gone through so much mamas I’m so proud of you and who you have become.

[@fredkuxhouse8939]

Taylor! It’s nice to see you’re still making vids. Hope to see more! You look like you’re doing better :-)

[@AutumnGriffin-h5z]

you were the first reptile/amphibian channel i ever watched and you have always been my favorite, i was so sad when you stopped making videos. i’m so glad your back and i hope you stay! ❤️

[@maddiewaters7112]

​@axolotl how can you tell?

[@sydneyb2856]

so good to see you! thank you for the depth you put into these vids so people consider every aspect of getting a new pet, it’s very important and needed ❤❤

[@keiko9524]

I missed these because I’m FINNALY old enough to actually purchase and properly take hair of animals I’ve always wanted this kind of snake but has but yk like? Timid but ur so comforting and for some reason hearing u talk abt them is so much more clear and calming than others

[@laurenbassett7971]

Girl. You are the cutest Goddess. Between you and my sweet gorgeous boyfriend, I have expanded my heart and mind to the critters y'all hold dear. You guys have changed the way I think about myself worth, the life and value of these animals vs mine, and that recovery is not perfect. I don't know exactly your beliefs but I have followed you as best I can for 4-5 years. You are a good person Nicole. You (and my boyfriend have changed me to a different human. I am so grateful. I live in the deep South, so of course I have shame welders snakes are concerned. I try not to cry. I thank my Higher Power that you could help me have the breakthrough I've had. You're compassion touches so many more people than maybe you know. You are a GOOD person. You are a GOOD SOUL. ALL OF US who love and think of you obviously know that. Thank you for educating us Nicole. And whatever your dealing with, babe, we are always thinking of you and praying/positivity vibing for you. We NEED YOU!! 😘 Youare so accepted by those that need your brilliant info FOR SURE!! ❤, Lauren Bassett from deep south Georgia. You are so cool sweet girl.

[@broman6662]

This kind of videos is why I started follow you years and years ago, before your life went, yeah you know. This is the first time I feel that you are back. This is the kind of videos I love! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!:)

[@Idkkkk401]

I’ve finally found this channel today which is so cool, I remember when I was in highschool I had the biggest crush on Taylor and tried my best not to miss any of the vids but what’s funny is that I actually ended up learning in the process so special thanks to her, it’s good to be back lol to continue learning.

[@suneater4867]

happy to see a video from you again!! hope youre doing well :)

[@JophielStellaluna]

I'm so happy when I read the notification of your new upload. I always love to binge watch your videos because they bring so much comfort for me. 💕💕💕💕

[@bccarla1]

I don't have particular interest about snakes but I'm here just because it's cool to chill with you, I like the vibe of your videos & your energy

[@laurenedge6392]

Love your content and I have so much respect for the progress you've made ❤. Glad you're doing well enough to give us another one of your amazing videos :) every day you upload is a good day. I can already tell by the editing style in the first few minutes that your in a much better head space. Love you so much ❤xx

[@miawl9]

YAY I’m so glad to see you!! These babies are adorable 🥹❤️❤️❤️

[@erinevelyn4022]

great snake footage and close-ups! some of the best images and behavior i've seen! thank you!

[@ManuelMartinez-os5wb]

I found the Vice video and said I had to subscribe! One thing I’ve learned in life is that no one is going to care about you other than your family! Therefore, who cares what people think? Be assertive, support yourself and stay active. I’m glad I subscribed to support your channel!

[@elleofmusic]

Hognoses are my favorite snakes next to ball pythons! I love how short and chonky they are, and their faces are the cutest in the whole world 😍 The little upturned snoot, those big button eyes, and the chubby cheeks..!! I was just looking into making them my first pet snake, and seriously balked at the current prices for even normal types, so it's good to hear that this isn't the norm! I'll probably be getting a ball python first instead if the market hasn't calmed down by the time I have everything I'll need to finish setting up an enclosure. It's great seeing you upload again! You look great!

[@kia-883]

I had a Hognose snake for a while, he was my 5th snake and unfortunately he never ate for me in the 5 months that I owned him and I tried every trick in the book, couldn’t get him to eat at all. Eventually I gave him to someone with a lot more experience who had to assist feed him for months before he took food on his own 😅

[@lilsam9680]

I’m so glad you’re back to making videos!!! I’ve missed seeing them!!! Lots of love! ❤️❤️❤️♥️❤️✨

[@jordansadventuresSW]

Always great to see you hope you’re doing well💖💖 I miss my red tail python and it’s so nice to hear you talk about snakes

[@chloesoh537]

glad to have you back ❤❤❤

[@elisabeteart]

I'm so glad you're making videos again 😊 I love your hair and your style.

[@brianmitchell9911]

tone of knowledge, lovin ur videos thus far, thanks for them

[@solar_co]

QUEEN, so glad to hear from you 🥺🥺🥺🥺💜💜💜💜💜

[@AngieStarkey719]

Absolutely love your videos I’m so glad to see you back at it ❤

[@sissapanda7753]

My special interest has always been animals so thank u so much for educating, your channel will always have a special place in my heart

[@samanthacasanova3239]

omgggg love your content. You should do like a get ready with me makeup but talking about your animals or stories 🐍 😍

[@FashionDiva90210]

Celia is definitely my two moods in the morning - anger & acceptance 😂

[@T10elC]

We have wild western hognoses out here. I find them quite often, and I love to play with them. I've had a few go through the whole drama queen feign death routine, but usually, they are pretty chill after I pick them up. You have a real conundrum between filming and moving.

[@nottheoneforyou]

So glad to see you in videos as always. I don't use a lot of social media but I try to check in on you through Instagram. Over the years I've even sent you messages on there with just positive vibes. I know they go into a separate folder so youve never seen them, but I still like doing it.

[@itgetsworse4667]

Love you Tay :)) Thank you for sharing about this topic!!! Because I do feel this one is important with how popular they are getting.

[@sarahjoemama1990]

You are serving all the lewks and information ❤

[@addy._.666]

To solve the cat and doors issue I went to a second hand hardware store (habitat for humanity resale store if you have one) and bought a door that would fit my frame then cut a cat sized hole in the bottom so I can keep my door closed. If you want extra privacy you can make a little door for the hole to close it up. It’s also a renter friendly solution too since you can just put the original door on when you move out and take your cat hole door wherever you go next.

[@TooTalented4uu]

I’ve been watching you since 2017, keep it up girlie!!! I’m rooting for ya

[@Wawaaa.m]

She’s so gorgeous omg-❤

[@sadie_xxo]

Taylor you’re so beautiful. So so hyped that you’re back, I missed you so much❤️❤️ Love you!!

[@LazyLilyPad]

I've always wanted a hognose but its them being so vocal that makes me think twice.. I'm now building an enclosure and am really thinking about what kind of snake I would like to get.. i know ill be able to not react to a bite as I have birds that have latched onto my nose and i react really well to that,, i do really think that wouldn't be a problem its just them being very vocal that puts me off the idea.. so happy to see yu upload..x

[@LazyLilyPad]

@Taylorndean I'm not sure if this is yu or not but I think it's a scam and I thought I'd let yu know..x

[@Pratik-0-0-7]

Used to watch your videos back in 2016 and 2017 then u disappeared for a year or so but seeing u again I'm happy for u and hope u are doing well. 😊

[@ManuelMartinez-os5wb]

Nice Vid!!! Side Note: I think it would be cool if you spoke more about addiction, as I was a severe addict and am now a certified addiction specialist in Colorado. It assisted me in remaining sober and assisting others! I continually educate myself by coaching others! Thank you very much for your contribution!

[@mariahcraft5230]

I was an addict, I then got on suboxone. Was on it for 3 years, got on the Sublocade shot and I’ve been done since October now! Recovery is an amazing thing 🩵

[@giu12696]

Your strength help me with my big anxiety problems❤

[@whatnow8893]

The Madonna sends you love from the bottom of her heart. We keep you in our prayers.💛

[@mitchelll899]

Scared a hog nose hiking a semi dry river bed in Ohio and the worst part of the bite was the hit to the boney section of my ankle. Seeing them in a false cobra flattened out pose is awesome and comical knowing their compensating for being a good tiny pest killer.

[@kellileann7409]

Celia says “are you intimidated yet mom? See I can be scary”

[@Toni_Chan_x3]

My very first Hognose was such a good lil guy. Never hissed at me, never tried to bite me, the absolute most tolarent little sucker there is :D. Then I got more of 'em and got a big girlie. Because i wasn't used to the Drama act, I didnt really feel comfortable reaching into her enclosure to get her out because...well..she was defending her kingdom xD. So i always took a little hook to get her out and as soon as she was out of her enclosure she was a sweetheart. So...if you reeaally want a Hognose and did your research and look for a well established Snake, that was handled previously then dont let their Drama push you away.

[@isabelameli8373]

I love these educational vids you’re so good at teaching about animals!!

[@bxnes1306]

I'd love to see that video on handling more temperamental snakes. I'm having issues with socializing one of my snakes :/

[@ahmedlabidi9039]

You made my day ! Love your videos and everything you do

[@pragyasingh2297]

I was never a theater kid and I've never owned a reptile but honestly if I was a snake I'd most likely be a Western Hognose. They're putting on all the dramatics and we're just like "hehe, looks like a cinnamon roll and is a cinnamon roll".

[@brenonbot2879]

Just started following after your previous video, and I’ve been waiting for another video to come out! Love your insights, humor, and creativity in your videos. Thanks for making more for us 💜

[@meikomoko]

been waiting a western hognose ever since i stared watching you a few years back so ty for this ❤❤ alos your make up always looks so pretty ❤❤❤

[@lillianbarclay9807]

This is actually the best description

[@molly8201]

WOOO NEW TAYLOR UPLOAD

[@autumnranaegauthreaux7595]

Hope you’re well, snek girl 🐍🥹💘

[@Seysey_]

The Queen is back!!! 🎉💅

[@Fran_Ces]

I LOVELOVELOVE UR ANIMAL CONTENT BUT I THINK PERSONAL CONTENT WOULD HELP U A LOT! ur such an insteresting person and im literally begging for more content about YOU 😭 u love fashion hair...i would LOVE to see vids about that. I love your take on addiction, ive been through ittoo and i watch your addiction vids once a week lol they bring me so much peace ^^ ilysm no matter what you're focusing on tho

[@thistleroots5151]

People are so hateful to her, though. All in her personal life all the time. It might be harder for her.

[@EhanaLaPointe]

I haven't watch this yet but I know I'll love it!

[@Someone-sq8im]

The queen returns!

[@nicholew3569]

I have a strong reaction to my hoggies bluff strikes so I wear gloves when taking them out of their terrariums. I honestly don't care if people think its funny because I am putting my animals safety first as I handle them more confidently when I have gloves on and then when they calm down I remove the gloves.

[@adrieanajosephine6938]

Nice to see you missed you!

[@laurenbassett7971]

Thankful for your knowledge Nicole!!!!!!

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

Sorry I can't shut up when it comes to hognose! Lol 😂 The dramatic bluff strikes are one of the things I love about them. When I got my first hognose I squealed like a little kid when he hissed at me. Lol 😂 I learned with my 2nd hognose that they can be super mellow as babies but then turn into "grumpy" adults! lol 😂

[@escapedoctopod8751]

glad to see your doin good still. you got iy

[@MagentaPotion]

I have a month or two wait for a clutch to become available coming from a breeder friend. I'm not exactly a novice with exotic animals/snakes, but initially I found these guy's dramatics a little intimidating despite being so tiny, but after doing some reading I've came around to wanting one. Plus I've spent a few years keeping tarantulas/scorpions, so I've gotten pretty desensitized to jump scares compared to back when I last had a snake. Lol Then again the snakes I had were always good because I kept up with handling them regularly, however I've only gotten to keep king snakes and pythons, and not since I was a teenager. Anyway, 12 years since I've last kept a snake, I have a nice big former adult Asian Forest Scorpion enclosure that's been empty for over a year now, and some extra time to get more enclosure goodies while waiting, so I'm trying to learn everything I can so I can make the most of having a snake again!

[@senor8224]

I had a hognose as a starter snake because I saw Pissy on exotics lair. Had him (Georgie) for 3 years before he passed away. One of his mice had a parasite and one day, he passed away. It was really a sad day... But, he was the best snake ever. RIP.

[@sh4dylol]

Off topic but I love your makeup and hair sooooo much Love seeing your animals again : )

[@missTammy1983]

Hey Taylor thank you for the video ❤

[@ItsAki14]

I love this so much. Western Hognose are so amazing and dramatic i just love them!

[@betwixttales]

Love the music you added for them playing dead. 😄

[@abigailmartinez5086]

I think you would look really good bald or buzz cut. It’s very freeing and really changes your mindset on beauty standards and self confidence.

[@lookwhosinsideagain3489]

New video! So positively surprised

[@stephaniebergerontremblay4558]

Such a great video! 🙌🏻

[@retsukittennyt]

i know a lot of people feel the same lol but i am not planning on getting any new pets just love watching taylor :) ❤❤❤

[@laurenbassett7971]

Ms. Nicole you are so looked up to. Go for it. I'm in the deep south. Most of them have always have always made me afraid. I'm so ashamed that with the influence of my 60+ dad he led me to believe these guys needed to die, because of him I've longed for someone like you. I would still loved to save the innocent ones

[@TuberoseKisser]

Idk if hognoses do this but my king snake use to do false strikes with his head, closed mouth. It sometimes felt like he bit me but he really just hit me with his face. For snakes not getting off, you can use metro cards, they're more thin and flexible compared to regular cards, just slide it between their jaws and your skin.

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

12:33 The easy way to say that is anything with a mouth can bite! That being said most hognose don't unless they think you are food and most of the time it's pretty avoidable. 😊

[@Leepbby]

My thoughts on this EXACTLY !! I want one so badly but the prices are just so out of reach at this point I'll never own a baby hognose 😞😞😞😞🐍🐍😞😞🐍🐍🐍🐍

[@Spaghatt]

My male hognose will hiss at me when he sees me 6 feet away from his enclosure! He will also false strike at me if i try picking him up He was my 6th snake and im glad because i think i would have not like this behavior as a first time snake mom

[@Cat-vh5nn]

You are amazing I hope you can get your own house soon ❤❤❤❤

Haven’t been up to date with you. I hope you’re doing better now. ❤

[@bruceleealmighty]

Stop filming, just do videos. 😁 There is an entire universe of nice, calm, even forgiving people out here. There are those of us that want the very best for those that try even the least bit to overcome their shortcomings. The problem is we have been blocked too often by those that say they are open and inclusive. Been shouted down by those that say they want everyone to be able to live in peace. The only thing is, the world is made up of those that say these things, but do absolutely the opposite. I hope your life become more uplifting. I hope you live for well being. Be content. seeking joy and happiness is a great aspiration. It is however only fleeting. Maintaining balance can also be difficult, but it is however not impossible to maintain. Center, balance and contentment is about as easy as abstaining. Not an easy objective, but once obtained fairly easy to maintain. Unlike the highs and lows of any other perspective.

[@kaiboshvanhortonsnort359]

All that huffyness is just ridiculously cute.
