Look what I bought yesterday afternoon from Nottingham Retile Centre:

How cute is he/she? Fed last night too

Any suggestions for a name?

 

[Liisa]

nobody like these snakes?

 

[dumbblonde]

i do!!!they have to be the sweetest little snakes out there!what you called him/her?

 

[Liisa]

cant think of a name - he/she tends to dig alot so I thought of digger.... not a cute name thought is it?

 

[dumbblonde]

here's a piccie of our hognose,we were going to get a pair and call them tubbs and edward from the league of gentlemen,coz of their up turned noses,but we called ours irwin.i cant really think of any more names..mrs piggy perhaps???

 

[Liisa]

awww he looks lovely, lots bigger than my little squirt....

What about "snob" for a name....lol? Or "snooty"?

 

[weelad]

call it marsh as its got a nose like jodie marsh's 8)

 

[Pimperella]

I just adore Western Hognosed. I'm after some of these myself!

 

[missbehavin]

Aww, so teeny tiny, how old?

 

[NNY]

I used to hate hognoses...didnt like the look of them at all... now after seeing everyone elses and seeing some in the scales at the show on Sunday I tihnk they're great. Cant think of any names though as I always find it hard with my own names. :lol: :lol:

 

[welshgaz]

How about 'Tia' for the little one?

Hognoses are wicked.. apparently if the feel threatened they play dead after a while (don't think I have my wires crossed there)

 

[fluffy]

How about 'Truffle' he/she looks as though they have been snorting about for one too many! :wink:

Dont hate me if you dont like it! :lol:

 

[Rob Wallace]

nice hoggie, that snake looks great, i really dnt know to much about them but are they not slightly venomous???... please correct me if i am wrong

 

[Jack13]

apparently if the feel threatened they play dead after a while

Not venemous.. its modified saliva.. which you're unlikely to get a reaction from.. there is a possibility if you are allergic to bee stings..

 

[Andy]

isn't all venom modified saliva? i dont know. They will rarely play dead in captivity although some do. Mine used to hood up like little cobras and when you picked them up they would shite all over you! They did calm down but one still hooded up. You will have to ask Pendlehog if he still does as she owns all my old westerns!

 

[Nat]

not a fan of hoggies huni....but cute all the same

 

[cornmorphs]

i started to like them a bit, but the misses said NOOOOOOO lol

 

[Liisa]

not sure how old, need to get date of birth though.... just a tiny baby, very active... like the name truffle..... LOL also the name snoop

CONGRATS LIISA. Gorgeous snake with fantastic temperment and personality. Enjoy evry minute with him/her. I thoroughly recommend everyone to have a hognose or two or three in their collection. Well worth everything. The perfect snake so says Busybee. xxx
