That is a very sweet thing to say! Im glad you found the video relevant. Here to help, im sure whatever you choose will be in great hands and the hog will thrive.
Awesome video. I love all of my males, but my females seem to be less flighty, so my kids like to handle them more. Question, how frequently do you see locks? My males don't seem to know what they're doing, and this is the first year our females are big enough to pair.
Thanks for sharing!!! Really cool to get the kidos involved. Locks are pretty rare, unless you have a feel for them. In my experience, and theres others with more experience, lock happen before noon in the mornings and sometimes again 4-7pm. I have noticed that by observation. Trust me im in my room 24/7
Never seen a male hognose so food driven, my female is food driven af. I think you answered my theory as to why my 1yo lavender boy isn't feed for the last two weeks i think he smells my female whos also a year old but not ready to breed just yet shes only 120 grams and i thought they should breed at 250+grams right?
The way I like to think about it is, age measures time and weight measures mass. A 120 gram female would be rather small to breed, unless she had the appropriate 3-4 years of age. Good stuff, thanks for the comment
@@Angry_Hogs I appreciate the content. You have answered several questions I've thought up about stuff as I've made steps to acquire a couple breeder hognoses. There are elements of risk and you highlight those. Many hognose videos are like "they're really cute and easy snakes". If cranky viper mimicry and sporadic hunger strikes won't stress you out, the western hognose might be for you.
@@bnutz3kI love their defense mechanisms. I think they are adorable. The hunger strikes were stressful. Mostly just annoying these days. Except when it's a small baby that was eating for the breeder and then stops eating for me! I'm brumating two babies that I got over the summer that stopped eating. They come out in a couple days! Wish me luck that they eat again when they come out!
Great video. This answered quite a few questions I had and didn't know I had! This should definitely have more views. Thank you so much!

Just started watching it, but I will say one of each. :)
Good point on the reproductive health stuff. I will be watching for it.
Love the comments bro! Much appreciated

Is the female albino purple line?
No purple line in her, however; she is eye catching.
@@Angry_Hogs she sure is, interesting that her skin (not scales) has a purple tint.
