@@taylorschreiber1842 No, they have different husbandry requirements. The hognose needs higher humidity than the kenyan, which is a desert snake. Also some difference in the temp. Kenyans like it a bit hotter.
Sand Boas all the way! I love them. I have two, a male and female. My female is just the most therapeutic creature ever. So calm and excepting of handling. She comes with me to the pet store and will just hang out in my jacket hood or in my hand.
@@ges4934 She also has been trained to know when food is here. I crinkle the paper bag the mouse came in, and she pops her head out of the aspen. then when she sees the bag she crawls up the glass and waits for me to hand her dinner.
I got my first snake about 6 months and I love my hognose. He’s the cutes best boy. Also watching him eat is so funny and one of the things that drew me to them. He was suggested to me over any other snake to start and I would highly agree. He is a gem.
When I worked in a reptile store, the hognose were always the most difficult snakes to feed. Ball pythons never gave anywhere near the amount of issues despite the reputation. Sand boas were usually okay, especially rough scaled sand boas.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this Head to Head Battle! Great job Clint like always. You are actually one of my favourite channels on RUclips! My Blue Tongue Skink also loves the channel!
Thanks Clint and totally stinkin rad team! I got my hoodie in GREEN and my question on these totally awesome reptiles answered. I still after 4 years of reading/watching/talking to breeders still don't have a reptile! I think i have done enough homework lol. These two snakes are the ones that i have been mulling over the most and its totally fantastic that you put them head to head. And now i know my answer.... get both lol.
I started watching your videos trying to pick a lizard for my son. I went down the video hole and am now dying for a snake even though I’ve always had a fear. That little hog nose is adorable.
I love both! I personally chose a sand boa since they don’t hiss or get fussy like most hoggies do, which could be spooky to a first time snake owner :) just something to consider😄
I have a little male hognose. He is about a year old and still has some growing to do :). I can't believe how far he has come in the time I have had him.
You're just so fun to watch! It's probably because of your passion and fascination with what you do but it makes the watcher fall in love and get enticed by it too! It's packed with great info but it's so fun - way better than school! Great work!
Ahh these are the snakes I'm trying to decide between for my first snake! I love hognose faces so much I don't think they even need morphs to be gorgeous. Thank you for all your super fun and super informative videos!
You have no idea how much I look forward to your bloopers. Always a fun and funny video but even funnier bloopers every time. Thank you, you always make me laugh
I find it weird my sand boa loves exploring and basking and going all over the place. I love looking at his substrate and you can see where he's been at night and I love saying he is having a party because it looks like it!
I just got two and the male (5months) is often on the move -he came out of a tub and now has a 50x50x125cm enclosure which he seems to love moving around in. Very cool snakes!
I’m totally going to get Kenyan Sand boas! I’m in Missouri and so Hognose snakes are venomous native snakes and require a permit and inspections etc. Plus I absolutely love the idea of a buried snake. I own tarantulas and several of them are just kinda like owning a hole so a little face will be a step up!
I got a crested gecko after seeing a few of your videos and deciding I thought that was the best first reptile for me (and of course I did more research after deciding to make sure I knew proper care) and his name is Ian Malcolm and I love him. He's thriving and eating great for me and already is adjusting really well to handling. Thanks for helping me find the perfect reptile for me! My next one is going to be a hog nose for sure.
I just love your videos. They always make me smile and your excitement is so infectious. I just got a KSB, but I really had a hard time choosing between the two. I just might need a Hognose now!
got this video from the In Case You Missed it Monday, and let me tell you. I LOVED IT! you were so enthusiastic about the snakes, when you said “you should just get both” I burst out laughing!
My heart stings whenever I think about how I picked my blue tongue skink over a hognose for now. And my heart would probably sting if I chose the other way around as well! One day!
Love this video! I've debated between the two for quite some time. I am leaning towards the KSB because the hognose is technically venomous and my body tends to overreact to small things. I do love the little hognose face though.
XiongMaoPanda keep in mind that a hognose bite is exceedingly rare unless they mistake you for their mouse. Realistically, all you have to do is get a captive bred and feed it with tweezers in a separate tub.
Aww darn, wish my mom would let me keep snakes 😂 The thing I love most about these 2 snakes is that their head is treamline with there body. Makes them look even more like a noodle! 😂 When I move out I'm definitely getting one of these, if not both!
We just discovered your channel! You've got some great videos! We often have Kenyan Sand Boas at our store and love it when all you can see is their lips poking out of their bedding!
Great video!! For your next video you should just do imatations of different snake species eating. Like at the end of this video 🤣🤣 I'm sure it would go viral LoL
I prefigure hog nose, but i haven't kept either yet, I only have one snake at the moment and that is my lil boa babes Lumie, who is a common boa constrictor and is 7 months old.
I was so scared of holding a snake up until a week ago at a reptile store the second snake I held I wasn't scared of at all which sounds silly I'm 28 but I fell madly in love with a beautiful 2 month old albino kenyan sand boa and my daughter loves it to. I fell in love with its adorable face and cute little eyes. I know they hide alot but it's helped me over come a fear of holding snakes which stems from my fear of worms. I'm so glad I got it I get so excited when he pops out of the substrate and I hold him.
A joyful head to head! I watch a lot of snake discovery videos and somehow I never realized the sexual dimorphism in hognoses was so extreme! Very cool
Personally, I’d get a female hognose snake if I was forced to choose. They have a reputation for being a bit sassy, but I’d take a snake with a bit of attitude over one that stays buried 24/7.
I was literally trying to decide on either and then found your video! and then i was like oh im already subscribed from a long time ago xD Thank you for the video!
From what I've heard of hoggies they don't seem to enjoy handling - though all snakes are individuals! I've wanted a KSB for years due to the first one I held being so sweet. I love mine :]
kenyan sand boas are really cool but i gotta say hognoses are my favorite, i love their dorky (but cute) faces and feisty personalities (: i hope to own one someday, they’re my favorite kind of snake!
😂😂😂 I started dying when the dude started talking about how he looks like he does coke😂😂 I apologize but you do😂😂😂 nah thanks for the good video I’m gonna buy a sand boa
Hi! While not Reptiles, maybe you could do an episode about the best frogs? (Pac-man, tree frogs, etc) Sidenote! My daughter just got her Leopard Gecko for her birthday and she named him Clint! She LOVES your show! (She quickly changed his name to Swoosh, though LOL She's six :) )
Just beware to new owners of Kenyan sand boas: you might hear they don't climb. Don't believe it. Our nutty noodle climbs like you wouldn't believe half the time. Always has. This is actually how he escaped once, about two months after we got him, right after Christmas. (We ended up finding him two days later in my empty Christmas stocking under the tree.) So yeah, just beware. (Still love him to death, they're fantastic little snakes! And such an adorable, derpy face!)
Kenyan Sand Boa is the one to buy. They eat all the time they hardly refuse a meal. You can have many in one room and it doesn't smell when they poop or pee. They are very hardy and you can probably feed them once a month and they can go without water for a month I'm sure since they come from dessert areas where there isn't much. They are not expensive buy and or keep as a pet. They come in many color mutations. In case you didn't know they wag their tail like a dog when you rub a frozen thawed mouse on there lower back. You won't be disappointed with a Kenyan Sand Boa.
I do love both the hog nose and the sand boa but the hog nose is the one I would go for due to seeing it.more often and I love their cute face , attitude uniqueness and character
I was super exited when i found some kenyan morphed cb babies.... a little less exited when i saw the price tag- but nonetheless, nearly $250 dollars later, and I‘m loving my feisty little danger noodle.
As a European who might be interested in keeping a reptile myself in hte, it would be interesting to know more about the differences in difficulty of finding these animals in Europe and whether keeping them is legal or not. I remember you mentioning the law issues of keeping Hognoses because of them being venomous snakes, but I'm not sure what the laws in Europe are about this issue in comparison to the US.
I love hognose snakes. Each time I see their little faces, I giggle a little lol!
They are the pugs of the snake world :)
Cuter than pugs!
@@ClintsReptiles Without a doubt. There's no contest! :)
Except they can breathe properly haha but you're right, that's so true!
@@ges4934 So true. Without going into the dark breeding practises of dog breeding, they're all so cute. However, snakes are much cuter :)
They’re so ugly that they’re cute? Nnnnnnnnnooooooooo, no, nnnooooo! They’re just adorable and cute straight out of the egg!
Just get both is the best possible ending to this 😂😂
could they be kept in the same tank if large enough?
Don't test me 👀😂
@@taylorschreiber1842 No, they have different husbandry requirements. The hognose needs higher humidity than the kenyan, which is a desert snake. Also some difference in the temp. Kenyans like it a bit hotter.
In this case, this guide could be seen as a way to determine which one to get first.
Great head-to-head, Clint! I love the derpy snake faces on these two species!
Sand Boas all the way! I love them. I have two, a male and female. My female is just the most therapeutic creature ever. So calm and excepting of handling. She comes with me to the pet store and will just hang out in my jacket hood or in my hand.

@@xBloodxFangx actually kinda smart!
Can I ask where you got her?
Thanks for helping me decide on which snake is right for me!
I’m gonna get a hog nose!
You're going to love it (of course, I would say the same thing if you said you were going to get a sand boa).
Hognoses are just so STINKIN’ CUTE
Fact!

Your videos are so cute and informative!! It's so important to have a youtuber in the reptile community with real degrees!!

That is odd. Mine all feed like baby birds.
@Taro Milk, Very Interesting! :)
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this Head to Head Battle!
Great job Clint like always. You are actually one of my favourite channels on RUclips!
My Blue Tongue Skink also loves the channel!
In my opinion, they are among the cutest snakes in the hobby.
Whichever one you're referring to, I agree. It is just a fact.
@@ClintsReptiles I meant both for different reasons.

I love your imitation of a hognose feeding. 😂 Very accurate.
Kenyan sand boas are just funny in whatever they do.
you should do a corn snake vs ball python
Yesss
That is a tough call. Corn snakes are awesome but ball pythons (these days) are like designer snakes.
@@justynmychael8716 I wish that we could just keep the wild type for all animals

They are so silly looking, I love it! The zoo I volunteered at in high school had a Kenyan. Haven't seen a hognose in person yet.
After years of thinking about it, I'm getting my female hognose this weekend. I can't wait to meet her!
Great video, great snakes, great Clint!
I just got one of each love them both

My two favorites!! great video clint!!
You're the best, Clint!
Hey Clint I love your video I never knew how amazing snakes could be till I saw your channel thank you
@Kate's Animals. That's Great to Hear! More amazing people introduced to this amazing hobby! :)

Hey Morgan Gobin. Yeah, I'd say that's the Kenyan Sand Boa's greatest flaw.
That's a myth, Kenyans come out and explore a lot. At least I have yet to see one who doesn't.
This! This video is what I live for!!
I love your energy!!
This video was super adorable and informative 💖💕
Hey Clint, it's a pleasure to give you a huge like from France for your continuous positive energy !
I was literally trying to decide on either and then found your video! and then i was like oh im already subscribed from a long time ago xD Thank you for the video!
Western Hognoses are so cute! I'm really hoping to get one as my next reptile, once I have the space and time available
I have a snow version of the sand boa... but the hognose has fangs so I think they are pretty damn cool.
The most accurate depiction of feeding a hognose ever.
From what I've heard of hoggies they don't seem to enjoy handling - though all snakes are individuals! I've wanted a KSB for years due to the first one I held being so sweet. I love mine :]
Got my first snake yesterday... Of course it was a hognose :D She's so sweet already and has eaten her first meal with me! Stinkin rad

i hope to own one someday, they’re my favorite kind of snake!
I am a proud owner of both, The Western Hogmose & Kenyan Sand Boa!
Sand Boa's deffinatly have the more derpy of faces 😍
They are my favourites
Could you make a video about all your pet reptiles and other pets and their enclosures by 50k subscribers?
I'm so excited.
You'll like or next video very much.
Hint hint wink wink

That is very possible

I enjoy both the snakes. I wonder how a cross would look? Sandy Hog boa sounds interesting 😄
My hognose Lucy is such a great eater, she constantly tries to eat me. Have to wear gloves with her. Other than that, she is a sweetheart!
Love this!
Could you make a video on Gray-banded Kingsnakes?
I do love both the hog nose and the sand boa but the hog nose is the one I would go for due to seeing it.more often and I love their cute face , attitude uniqueness
and character
Kenyan Sand Boas were ranked 4.6
Western Hognose Snake ranked 4.2
Both small and cute
Both great for beginners.
Get both.
I have both!! My hognose is very easy to feed but my sand boa sometimes denies food.
I love both sm!!! I just think I would prefer a sand boa, as my parents would never let me own even a slightly venemous snek boi
They’re both adorable
Awww their both so cute
Totally agree!
One's mildly venomous & the other ones completely venom free. I love both❤️

Me either, but it would be good to know if you find out.
When u flip over that hognose snake, u can see how elegant that pattern is entirely. Looks like a gucci snake
"Australian water dragons - the best pet lizard?" I would really like such video
Coming soon
Reptile room tour!
Hognoses have little cheeks which are adorable.
Sand boas are extended sock puppets, which is also adorable.
