I love picking up my Hoggy and seeing her instantly start flicking her tongue out because she's comfortable and wants to explore
That's a tip I picked up from NERD😆 long tongue flicks=curious&learning
As someone who is prepping for a hognose (Ive got all the supplies coming in today and tomorrow), I really appreciate your content. It’s beginner friendly and easy to understand! I’ve owned lizards before, but I have no experience owning a snake, so your beginner friendly content is nice!
Thanks for the kind words.. I appreciate it. I wish you the best with your hognose, when you get them. They make great pets for sure.
I've had tons of lizards but my first snake, Nope, came today. Besides a quick health check and moving to his baby bin, I've left him alone(staring doesn't count, right?😅). So far, he seems like the most chill dude ever. He's explored every inch of his enclosure and kept popping his head up like a periscope to watch everything going on in the living room. He's already had at least 10 unscented pinkies before shipping but just to be safe, I'm waiting til he takes first meal this weekend before I start handling 😆 just from moving him, he's sooo soft and I never expected that!
Great story, and grats on your new baby hoggie! Thanks for sharing.
@@HogginOut ty! I've watched all your "first baby hog" videos and they've been so helpful!
"Docile and easy to handle" said 20 times in this video ;-p
That's okay....docile is a nice word.
Just got my first baby 2 days ago, and shes a drama queen! Glad to know its better for me to just grab her than try and do it slowly!
Glad that tip helped you. My Annie is the same.. bluff strikes if I go slow, but totally fine if I dive right in and grab her. Once in my hands she's a baby. Congrats on your first baby!
I’m inlove with hognoses there faces are soooo cute ❤️❤️🤣🤣😂
They really are!! My favorite reptile atm..
@@HogginOut I want one but my mums terrified of snakes she calls them unmentionables 🤣😂🤣😂
@@cuteandfluffypikachu3405 lol... They stay small.. Tell her they don't get big and they are beautiful and a thing of nature.. lol
@@HogginOut Yer I tried that but she told me when she was a 5 she was at the cinema and the interval of the movie they showed a quick nature video and it had a bower constrictor killing some animal she screamed she’s 76 now and sill scared of them lol
@@cuteandfluffypikachu3405 just keep trying to desensitize her. My hubby and 9 y/o daughter were terrified a few months ago. The more videos they watched(that I sent), the more they realized snakes are just animals trying to survive. TBH, still working on my mom 😅 but she'll come around after she sees her grandkids loving on them😆
Thank you this was very useful to me. I got my first baby hog a week ago, she successfully ate a few days ago so tried to handle her yesterday and I was way too nervous so she bluff striked a lot which made me even more nervous. Hoping today will be a better experience.
Wish you luck. Let me know how you make out. Cheers.
Dont be nervous animals can feel it!
So how did it go? My little guy got here on Thursday morning, we're going to try to feed Saturday and handle Sunday night.
@@chasityrenee6729 how did handling go?
@@ShrekTheTrilogy he’s a spicy noodle lol. He bluff strikes til I get him of the enclosure and chills a bit once he’s out. He’s taken every meal I’ve offered and is getting so big.
Saw a baby hognose on my driveway last year. I live out in central Texas. I let it crawl on a cardboard box and I set him lose out on the pasture by some trees and rocks. It was a beautiful bright orange with black spots. What is your thought on handling a wild hognose although this was a young one. Are they more skiddish and apt to bite? Just curious; I have some nice pictures of it and it's beautiful color.
I got a baby hognose snake and every time I try to handle her she literally flies out of my hands I can't even take her out of the enclosure. I put my hand in front of her like you said and she flew over my other hand and then dove into her tank and was flying around like a maniac. I have a ball python who's always liked to be held so I don't know what to do
It may take months. Just hold everyday for 5-10 mins.. she should calm down over time.
I got mine today, I wanted to look inside the box on how he is, if he's okay. He stood up like a cobra out of nowhere, and nearly got out of the box, at that moment I put my hand under him so I can catch him, then he immediately bit my finger, but very slowly. Kinda dumb I have to admit.😅
Congrats!!! Enjoy him
Thanks😁, I just fed him a few minutes ago, he was very hungry, maybe thats why he bit me.
Did you make this series for me? 😀😂🤣
I almost felt like it. 😂🤣
Please link the first video. My tablet is having a hard time going back a year on your playlist 😞

@@HogginOut Thank you 😊
All Niklaus does when I hold him is sit in a little ball in my hand...if I hold him for awhile eventually he will start moving around...
He seems to like you.. He's passive and docile.. That's a good thing. 😎
@@HogginOut Oh he's a brat in his enclosure though....he's like "this is my house!!!""Leave me alone lady."
He gets startled pretty easy too when I am holding him. Flares up. Only when I make to quick a movement or move my big scary thumb. Most of the time he's pretty chill though.
@@Upper_echelon_exotics 😂
What do you recommend doing when you open the enclosure and your baby is aggressive? I just got my first baby and the first time I tried handling her she hissed a lot and did a lot of bluff strikes. Would you try and pick her up anyways or let her be? I just don't want to stress her out too much
What did you end up doing? I've been having this too and I haven't really handled snakes much and she's tiny don't want to hurt her either lol
Quick question on this actually! Besides feeding day and 1-2 days after, do you recommend digging out the baby hognose (if it’s buried) to get it’s daily handling in? Or is it just counterproductive to stress out the snake like that?
You can hold anytime the day after feeding, no matter where they are, for a handling sess.
@@HogginOut thanks dude!
Hey!! So we are about a month in, and Winter is eating amazingly!! She is actually showing signs of being hungry about every 4 days. Is that normal? I am the main handler. My daughter wants to wait until she is a little bigger as she does not want to drop. I'm trying to let her know not to worry. Winter will do the hand to hand for a little bit, but now she wraps around my finger and squeezes tight and exploring, it seems. Like she wants to go up my arm!!! I'm not sure if I'm ready for that. I'm doing a little bit of petting, and it doesn't bother her. But sometimes she will just open her mouth at me, no striking. Cracks me up, but I hold her a little bit longer to make sure she is calm before I put her in as I don't reward for whatever that is....what is that?
That’s for sharing.. feeding a baby hoggie every 4-5 days is fine.
I got my 1st hognose 2 weeks ago hes spicy 😂 ive owned corns for 2 years and never been pooped on
Ominus only 8 grams has pooped on me every time 😂
I just adopted a very chill juvenile high red het albino boi named Tallahassee.
I was told to only hold them for no more than 10 minutes once a week when they are young, do you think I can handle him more often than that?
I would hold them once a day for a few mins. The more you hold them, the faster they become easier to handle. Especially if your baby is chill like you stated. ;-)
.. and congrats on your adopted baby boi! I love hoggies. So cute and awesome.
When would you recommend first trying to handle them? Do they need time to settle in when you first get them?
These are very useful videos for someone who is feeling a little lost on where to get information
@@evawilkinson6136 thanks for the kind words.. I hope they helped you as well.
