I would recommend using a hide that has only one opening, because with burrowing snakes they can just burrow out another way if they need to 'escape'. It also makes them feel a lot more secure! I just got a baby cornsnake a couple weeks ago, and he definetly appreciates a 1 way in hide. Sometimes snakes get stressed out with log hides like that, and from experience they much prefer 1 way hides.
Thanks for the advice! She has multiple hides, and the cork round is the only one that she really uses! :)
@@HunterHouck Of course, it's just a suggestion, (and really, it wouldn't make TOO big of a difference) but sometimes with hognoses less stress is really important! Happy keeping! (and your hognose is very cute, by the way.)
I love the cork round idea! I have used them for my geckos, but not for a snake. Cool.
I honestly think setups like this are better than bioactive setups that seem to proliferate the hobby now. A simple setup like this is easy to tweak as needed. You could go overhead heat easily if desired (I think overhead heat works really well with hognose but is not mandatory), you could add a humid hide if or when needed, you can try different style hides, etc - all without worrying about the clean up crew, etc. Hognose seem to like it simple and be able to burrow/hide as needed, and this setup does that. If they only made fake dead grass, that would be cool to lay on top of the aspen. I have tried orchard grass, that is pretty good.
Thank you for your input! I’m glad you like it.
I love it!! 😍 also i’m obsessed with her
Thank you so much, Gracie! 😊
That's an impressive enclosure.
Thanks! I’m happy you like it! 😁

Hey hunter👋luv the enclosure just wanted to ask if I should get a bioactive home or one like urs.which is better for hognoses.and wanted to ask if I had a enclosure setup like urs could I just use a heat lamp for my hognose.but any way luv the content keep it up🔥
Thanks! This was a temporary enclosure; I’d recommend something like this:

I'm about to get my first hognose. When would you put the humid hide in the tank? Only during shedding?
When a hognose is young, they shed faster and more often, so I recommend having a humid hide at all times.
@@HunterHouck ok thank you!😊
Dude. You have such sweet herps!
Thank you, friend! I agree!
@@HunterHouck haha I'd have hoped you agree man. I love your vids. Just found them. Super real. Keep it up.
I would recommend using hvac tape next time , so if any heat happens it wont melt
I mentioned in the video that before the animal went in, I was planning to replace it with aluminum tape.
@@HunterHouck sorry I missed it
No worries!
Do you happen to know where the best place to buy a 10g would be?
Petco has them for $9.99 right now, because their half-off sale is happening! www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/aqueon-standard-glass-aquarium-tank-10-gallon
@@HunterHouck Thank you so much!!
Can I keep a subadult in a 30g
Dimensions are definitely more important than gallons, but I don’t see a reason why not as long as you have plenty of hides! I have a subadult in a 36x18x18”. Check out the video!
Awe your snake is adorable is it your first onr
Thank you! She is my first snake.
@@HunterHouck how long have you had her also I found your channel due to snake discovery when you sent them that one reptile
I’ve had her for around a month. And awesome! I’m glad that they’re taking great care of the vinegaroon! 😁
I read you shouldn’t have the heat probe right on the heat source because the readings will be too high.
The thermostat’s job is to control the temperature, so if you don’t have it on the heat mat, you’ll burn your snake.
