One thing that might be pertinent to new Hog Nose owners is the way they handle. Hogs aren't constrictors and won't really wrap around things (including you) to hold on, so you have to be more supportive and I would suggest holding them above something soft just in case they fall.
Very good point. ♥️
They do wrap around had one on me hand so wrap😮
We got our hognose about 6 months ago and she is SUCH a great snake. You are absolutely right that they are tiny, but they grow QUICK lol
Oooh that's very good to know 🥰 I love how tiny and cute he is, but I'm excited for him to get bigger
@@ellesreptiles they really are, and their reputation of being "derpy" makes them that much cuter lol
Goodness this just made my baby hognose fever flare.
Your hognose set up is AWSOME! One of my first snakes many, many moons ago was a boss hog. My wife and I are a dyed in the wool BP couple, but hognoses are cute as a button. Thanks for sharing, take care.👍🏾👍🏻
Thank you so much 😊
He's adorable! (Does anyone else have this video coming through with really fuzzy sound? I checked and other videos are playing crystal clear)
Probably yes. I spent 3 hours on my end trying to fix it, and got it to sound ok (I thought), but you're not the first that said it was fuzzy. 😅
@@ellesreptiles Yea it’s staticky and it’s only playing through the left speaker in my car :( was driving and listening and had to turn it off and wait till I got home to listen/watch cause I can’t do the one speaker thing 😂 now it’s only playing in my left AirPod but it’s more bearable. Only video like this maybe see if your settings changed on mic, sometimes it happens. The music is playing fine and in both AirPods it’s just your mic
@@chelsiefetherman3324 oh yea, it was 100% my fault. I had the mic up too loud, noticed, and my brain decided to do nothing about it. I need to put post it notes on my tripod to remind me of all the things I need to check and fix before recording 😅
But this week's video, it's been fixed. ♥️
Another great informative video! Your baby hognose is adorable! Your enclosure set-ups are always amazing to see. Have a great Sunday!
Thank you so much 😊
This was so helpful!!! Thank you!!! Definitely worth the wait!
I'm glad it was helpful 🥰
Good morning Elle, my favorite reptile channel. Great of you to take your viewers on this journey with you 😀. I’m sure if they could the pets of new owners would thank you lol. Have a great day!
Haha thank you so much. You're always so nice 💜
I always enjoy your videos. This one was a great one on Hognoses. Your baby looks very HAPPY.
GOD BLESS 🐍💖🐍💖🐍💖
Thank you so much! I hope you have a great week 🦎🐍💜
Thank you so much Elle! Got a male arctic albino hognose at an expo today and needed a few more tips!
Great little video about hognoses! Love the disclaimer and it's very true! Each snake is unique, especially hognoses! Hope you enjoy your little guy 👍🙂
Great tips! I’m planning on getting my first baby hog at a reptile expo this weekend. So excited!
im getting my new baby hoggy next week and she is so small. like so tiny. ive been into the shop im getting her from a few times to go and handle/ see her so she can be a little bit more used to me when she comes home. we have a 2 ft viv, its quite wide and i have some really cute hides and vines for her. i cant wait. this video was really helpful thank you!!!
also she already has a steady feeding scheduel eating pinkys on a certain day. shes my first ever snake (however not my first reptile) and im very excited to learn more about them
I'm hoping to get my first snake sometime this year. I was thinking about trying out reptilinks for hogs that I might get
Hognose snakes have never really been on my radar. I’ve seen them at shows and thought they were cute, but never much interest . Then I ran across the Easter Hognose I fell in love with them I’ve joined a fb group for Eastern and I want one . Wish you luck with yours I’m quite sure you will crush caring for it. Another awesome episode. 🙏🏾
Ooooh, I've never really looked into easterns, I should do that 👀
I run a rescue in Virginia, and we just got a baby albino western hognose in yesterday. Someone left his entire reptile collection in the hallway of his apartment building and moved away. Luckily, the neighbors called us. This was all pretty helpful, we don't normally get these guys in, much less a baby. He's generally in good health, but no clue when he ate last, and was in a critter keeper with millipedes :/
Oh goodness Elle! I have been set on a beardie, but am thinking a hognose might be just the thing. I'm tuning in with you to see what the 411 is and which reptile I am best suited to caring for at 60+ years old. I may find a way to have both with a little time in between! Thank you for putting out all of the information, I know I get good instruction with you!
Awww Osiris is such a cutie! My lavender hognose was a year old when I got him so he was a decent size by that point 💜
That's awesome! Can't wait for mine to get a bit bigger 🥰
Love your videos Elle, definitely my favorite reptile UA-camr 🎉 You’re so compassionate with your babies and it shows in the way you care for them.
My daughter and I both got new hognose snakes today and I’m in love! We’ve had ball pythons and other reptiles but these little guys are something else lol. One of them is very huffy, cobra hooding and bluff striking and the other is super chill. They are both set up in the little quarantine totes and I can’t wait to move them over into their upgraded enclosures. How long do you recommend before they move over? I’m seeing two weeks + as a common answer or until they’ve eaten a few times without issue.
Thanks Elle!
Can we get an update please!!🙏 I'm getting my first hognose snake tomorrow!! Sooo excited!!🙂
I grew up catching western hognose. They are one of my favorite snakes ever. Give them sand!! They LOVE to burrow in sand!! I caught them in sandy prairie areas.
Your new baby is too cute! And Osiris is such a great name for him :3 I have an Anubis, but he is an African House Snake :) Love your content as always!
Thank you ♥️
I have an African house snake named slim shady and I adore him!
Hi Elle, just wanted to let you know that the audio is a little off today. Normally your voiceovers are so clean but this one is... not so much. I think it's clipping and you might need to make some adjustments. Love your channel and I watch every upload!
Yea I know 😅 I spent about 3 hours trying to fix it. There was a blooper at the end of this of me noticing the volume was up too loud on my mic, and for some reason not turning it down. My ADD is merciless. I think I need to put post it notes on my tripod that tell me to check (and fix) certain things before I start recording 😂
Good morning Elle, hope you have an amazing Sunday!! Hog nose snakes are really interesting but I also never knew they were venomous!!
Just a little bit venomous haha. I hope you have an amazing Sunday as well 🥰
@@ellesreptiles just be careful please lol!!! Thank you Ma'am!! 😊
Excellent video! I’ve had my hognose George for a little over 2 years now and about the first month was nerve racking. He was sooooo tiny and finicky about eating. Well, he still is finicky sometimes. His first 3-4 meals was half a pinky. And his attitude has always been awful 😂 It really didn’t take him long to start coming to me though. He’s so curious about everything even when he’s being huffy, hissy, strikey. Once he’s in my hand he calms down but he sure likes to put on a show up to that point. Funny little critters they are. 😅
Is it good for baby hognose snake to be in a 10 gallon tank 🤔 I'm going to put in alot of stuff to make it feel safer to not stress it out
He is super cute!! 🐍
🥰 isn't he.
I would recommend waiting 2-3 meals with no problems before starting handling. You just kinda play that one out though. If they are enthusiastic eaters then they will probably be fine. I'd just keep handling short and don't handle on feeding day until you get used to how they are. One of mine doesn't care she loves to eat! My male is pickier so I still don't handle him on feeding day. My two new babies I'm still trying to figure it out!😊
Hognose Snakes are adorable
They are 🥰
What about quarantine tanks? Just provide a dig box and hides with paper towel substrate?
I just got my hoggy on thursday and she has been dug down and I haven't seen her since lol. Expected :) but! When can I possibly see my girl again?
I wanted one of these, but unfortunately they are illegal in my state ☹️ I got a sand boa instead. Thanks for sharing your new little guy with us! 🥰
Oh no! That's no fun, but sand boas are definitely another awesome choice! 🥰
You had me at baby hognose!
🥰
Hey, Elle, I've noticed this video and the BBC one that was just released only have one channel of audio. It's only coming out of the left channel. If this is unintentional, I can help troubleshoot if you need. Just wanted to let you know. Great vid, by the way! I just got my first hog yesterday!
Yea I know this one was - the sound was all messed up on this one. But the BBC one was showing both channels working in the editor, so that's odd 🤔
@@ellesreptiles i may have it confused with another video. I don't mean to nag or anything. I know commenters can be annoying with that :)
@@ErikNonIdle No, it's fine! 🥰 Definitely point those things out to me, I want to always improve. I just checked the BBC one, it looks like it's coming from both, but the right is a lot lower than the left. I'll have to figure out how to fix that. 😅
@@ellesreptiles That's probably what it was, then. I was listening on speakers, not headphones so it just sounded muted entirely. You do have a nice mic, though! Sounds good when it all works as intended :)
Just received my hognose. Everything but filling the tank with lots of items was not recommended if you want it to line a longer life. Just substrate hides and water. Have you heard of the same?
Hi Elle! Congrats on your new baby. He's adorable. Could you tell me how you covered the sides and back of his tank? Did you paint or use something else? Thank you.
Thank you! It's just a black poster board, cut up and taped to the outside of the tank 😊
Oh awesome! Thanks for getting back. :)
FIRST!YOUR AN AMAZING UA-camR
Awww thank you 🥺♥️
One thing I wished I would have known sooner is that 95F is too hot of a warm spot for a hognose especially a male. I aim for high 80's and try not to overthink the heating too much.😊
I am getting ready to get a baby hognose.. I will be using a 10 gallon tank with a 8 W under tank heater. What size basking light and uv light would work for a 10 gallon for a hognose? Thanks.
I’m thinking of getting a hognose but trying to figure outwhich heat source I should do, since some say that if you have a heat mat that the hognose can burrow down and get overheated and die 😰
Do you have/ will you ever get a boa? Seeing you with a boa will inspire others and help their reputation. I got a juvie female Colombian bci for my first ever reptile and she has the strongest feeding response ever, I’m in her enclosure everyday, handle her at least once a week even in shed. They calm down after a few minutes then you can handle them for a hour or so. The bites also aren’t as bad as people think I got bit in the wrist while removing the lid to feed her and it healed in a week. Tags bleed but it’s not fair bc they have such big teeth compared to other snakes and their tendency to bite when threatened is something you can use to make them really calm down and forgive you and trust you. Very sweet snakes.
I want a Western Hognose SO BAD but Colorado has some strict laws around them.
💜💜💜💜

Is 18x18x36 a good size for a 2 foot long ball python?
My hognose thinks she’s a dang bullsnake, she starts by biting when she’s cranky or convinced I’m starving her (I am not but Dunsparce will hear none of that) every reptile is an individual, and some individuals are just sassy 😂
I would love to get a Lavender hognose one day! Great video! Have a great week
Hi Elle! Super excited to watch this. Also could you give my bearded dragon a middle name? Her first name is Tina.
It takes me forever to come up with names 😅 but the first thing I thought of was Louise, like Tina and Louise from Bob's burgers 😅
@@ellesreptiles that’s my favorite show 😂 I love it! Thanks!
My girl Freddy is pretty cranky compared to my male. She will strike me if I pick her up, so I'm just doing it a few times a week and gradually becoming braver. I didn't handle her much at all for the first couple months, so she's probably just having to relearn human interaction. They can be pretty intimidating! How can you not flinch? I've started picking her up with the hook and placing her in my hand. At the same time, it's cute and funny. My male seems to be much more docile and turns into a lump when I pick him up. Wouldn't mind some suggestions for a very alert and sassy 19g hoggy. :)
I don't have a hognose and don't plan on getting one anytime soon but still enjoyed the video. My only suggestion is smile more, you have a wonderful smile!
Hello I just wanted to ask something about my bearded dragon.
She is a 2 month old dragon and I’ve been having problems keeping the humidity in the tank even under 40. The lowest I’ve got it to was 35, and I watched your video about how to keep/lower the humidity and I’m gonna try some of those things out tomorrow. I can keep it under 50 at day most of the time I took out the water bowl to help I use a mesh top on it but it’s been hard to keep it still under 50 humidity. I also leave me windows open all day as to keep it aired out.
I live in California and in a mostly humid area. Tonight it was hitting 57 but yeah.
Is it fine for the humidity to rise at night and then go back to normal during the day?
Hi 😊 yes, a night time increase in humidity to about 50% is fine.
@@ellesreptiles oh alright I’m buying a room dehumidifier to see if that’ll keep it under 40 so hopefully that works thank you so much🙏🏼:)
Sorry, but there's a bit of a bad sound with that speaker. you need to do something about that;)
Hognose are soo cute and fine - i love
I know, the volume was turned up on the mic too loud, causing a lot of audio clipping. So I tried to fix it for about 3 hours, but failed 😅
@@ellesreptiles ♡
I like you though:)♡ :) 😀
