Yes please on the updated hognose care guide..I'm really hoping to get one at NARBC Tinley next March. I can't go this October...I'm getting ready to go on a trip where I'll be cage diving with great whites 😁. Since hognose like it drier does that mean they can't be in a bioactive? Thanks again for all of the great content 💚🦎🐍🐢💚

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I'll update the care for sure. They can still have Bioactives for sure

[@aidanlauzier326]

I also might be getting one soon, so that would be awesome to have an update!

[@pyrpyr5Wolf]

They can be in bioactives! My boy was the worst eater until he got moved to his bioactive setup. I use Carex and Festuca grass, mealworms, Spanish isopods and a couple of morio worms for clean up. Water the grasses directly every 1-2 weeks. Mist under a couple of cork/rock/log pieces for the isopods and water the setup a little extra when the snake is in shed and you're good to go.

[@hobopixi5981]

Yessss! I am getting a hoggie very soon! I want to make sure I'm very ready for her!

I nominate Dumerils Ground Boas. Easy to take care of - mine eats only from Feb to July. And is a good eater during those times. Poops less than a dozen times a year - poops are kind of like cat poops (solidish) so are easy to spot clean. No tricky humidity or temperature requirements.

One is a more blue with snowflakes, and the other is a blue eyed, so more lavender blue body. My little blue eyed boy recently started croaking. It's adorable and hilarious. Bok bok bork! Just short little bursts. But a lot of noises will set them off.

My favorite on this list is my male anaconda morph Western hognose Aspen. He may technically be venomous, but I have had him over seven years and he has never struck at me much less bitten me. He is the sweetest snake that I have kept in over fifty years of keeping snakes! And that is saying something 'cause I used to own a very chill boa constrictor.

[@guy8646]

I’m always surprised when uromastyx don’t make these lists. They need larger enclosures (box turtles need more space) and require high temperatures, but their care is so easy. They don’t need a water dish, they don’t need to be misted, their waste doesn’t smell at all and dries up incredibly fast, and you can buy their food when you shop for yourself, eliminating an extra shopping trip.

I beyond love my hognose. Only 2 months old, so has so much sass. Handles like a dream, then when you put him back in & offer a mouse, he goes into full on viper mode with his tail going & hissing. Did to me too the other day because I wanted to change his water after handling, so he decided that was where he wanted to go. Wasn't happy at all he needed to move for his dish to go back in! 😊

[@michellevarner7922]

​@@WickensWickedReptiles its great! Honestly you need to make sure its dug down at least a foot tho, because they love to dig and escape! I like the hutch because its fully enclosed - we used to have an open top enclosure but they would get attacked by crows and raccoons.

Good upload Alan. I personally prefer chahoua to cresties. They pretty much have the same requirements as cresties and can be kept the same way and if chahoua lose theyr tail it grows back!

I got 2 juvenile chahoua for £150 which is about £200 and one of them is almost completely jet black which i have never seen in chahoua before.
