Age: CB21
Sex: Female
Morph: Normal
Adult size range: 24” - 36” (Females larger than males)
Handling: Typical hognose sass (hissing and puffing up) when picking her up from her enclosure, but calms down once she’s settled into your hands. Very friendly.
Suitability: Well-researched Beginner
Western Hognose snakes are mildly rear-fanged venomous as a hunting adaptation. If a person is bitten, this can act similarly to a bee sting, with some people being more prone to a reaction (swelling and itching) than others.
That being said, this species do not tend to bite unless provoked and feeling threatened, and are more likely to give a warning heat butt.
Enclosure recommendations
Adult females should be housed in 3ft long enclosures as a minimum size.
Thermostatically controlled and guarded overhead heating should be provided. Temperatures should be between 32-35°C for the hotspot and be measured with a digital thermometer or heat gun. UVB is optional
