[musky89]

www.hognose.com this site will tell you everything you need to know. The exo terra may be a bit big depending on what age hoggie you get. An adult will be happy in a 2ft viv.

Be fine in a faurnarium, plus you can lift it up to see where abouts he/she is as they like to burrow and spend a good portion of the time out of site.
Here is a good care sheet for you TheHognosesnake.co.uk- care sheet, description, breeding and more

URRRRRRRR a heat mat!?

[musky89]

wouldnt it melt it coz its plastic

[musky89]

the biggest size they do isnt even 2 foot so has anyone else got any other tank suggestions

[ian14]

As an adult, a wooden 24" viv is ideal. Hatchlings are better off in tubs.

our's is in 2 foot viv with heat mat. has plastic plants all over the walls which it likes to climb in or get under the substrate.

they're great little snakes. never miss a feed. pretty simple requirements. look nice

they try and act the big bad man, hissing and fake striking. mine even do this to their food before they work out it's edible (sp?)

as said above check out Hognose.com: The Definitive Guide to the World's Hognoses

and you can see you keep venomous snakes

If you brag about keeping a venomous snake when it is in fact a Hoggie, you need a slap.

And yes, go to TheHognosesnake.co.uk- Hognose information, facts, photos, forum and more. for details.

Put the hatchling in a faunarium, then when it begins to get bigger you will need to swap it over into a 24 x 18 x 18 viv, or obtain a 50l RUB and house it in there.
