I've just recently become interested in snakes (yeah, wait til you're 71) and really enjoy your videos. Your knowledgeable and straightforward approach is very welcome and I'm learning quite a lot from you. Thanks so much.
I'm 51 and TERRIFIED of snakes except the hognose! But i watch snake videos to educate myself about them so i know where to avoid them, learn their habits, etc. I live in Texas so we DO have venomous snakes around, but so far around my house I've seen those small black garter snakes. I'd rather have hognose snakes because at least they don't dart around!
@@monikag1323 snakes are wonderful :) it's nice you're educating yourself about them, because that's how you overcome your fears. garter snakes do no harm and they can actually make great pets!!! they're usually tame especially if you socialize them a lot and they can be quick but they really do no harm. small snakes like them and snakes like ball pythons have very small and gentle bites if they even do
Even tho this video is old, this was extremely helpful, as I’m getting a young male conda hognose snake for my b-day in August, I can’t wait, I’ve always loved snakes and always wanted one too
I’m 68 and fascinated by snakes. But like a lot of people, I’m not confident when handling them by myself. Back in the 90’s I bought a beautiful baby corn snake. Hoping I could overcome my anxiety I tried handling her. She never actually bit me but would give me a warning hiss. I kept her for 2 years but as she got bigger and bigger I got even less confident with her. I returned her to the breeder, knowing that she could be rehomed to someone who was more confident than me. Back then there was very little ready advice. If only there was a Snake discovery channel then. If I was a few years younger I would happily go out and buy a Western Hognose. I love your channel, you are such ambassadors for reptiles. 🇬🇧
Emily, love this little tutorial on Hognoses and can't wait to see what clutches you get this year! I hope you might consider doing a tutorial about Brumation - what it is, what you do to get your snakes through it, and how it affects breeding. Thanks.
I have obsessed with this channel for a while and to see the love and care they put into each animal is amazing I tried to watch a diffrent channel to see the diffrent types of hognose genes and I saw video of people fast feeding to breed them some wouldn't even touch the snakes they would just us a hook and talk about how many babies they will get and for you to buy them I didn't like watching that I love your channel and will hope to one day soon purchase a snake from you guys. Keep up the great work guys !!
Lovely snakes you have! I have 3 westerns and an eastern hognose myself. My eastern is captive bred, and actually takes f/t mice with no problems. Every now and then I have to rub a bit of toad scent on his mouse to jump-start him eating, but most days he does unscented. He's about a year old now, and eats an unscented hopper mouse every 4-5 days. I'll probably move that to once a week when he's finished growing.
i was thinking the exact thing! i wish she would explain that also i was actually wwanting a hognose a bit because of pissy cuz i know it wwont bite but acts annoyed all the time
It’s really just a childhood phase they go through. Most of the snapping is in the younger snakes but as they get older they mature and calm down. Then you just have snappy snakes lol
Pissy is a famous little snake from a CZcams channel called ‘Exotics Lair,’ and is known to be the most pissed off adorable little albino snake. She’s never happy, and always hissing up a storm. It’s quite funny actually. You can just type ‘pissy’ and ‘exotics lair’ and it’ll bring up the video. Anyways that little mean snek is the snek they’re referencing.
I'm getting an albino western hognose and I have watched so many videos on how to care for her, and I got her home all set up! I am SO excited to finally meet her tomorrow!
Over this last weekend while at a father-son camp out, my son and I came across what we now know was a Eastern Hognose. This was located along the Chippewa River near Arkansas, WI.. Initially, I checked for the rattle of a rattle-snake, negative. It hissed and swelled its head. My first thought was 'Cobra'...in Wisconsin!?...nope. It slinked off into the woods, didn't play dead at all. And yes the frogs & toads were everywhere that weekend.And now we know. Thank you for the video, Scott & Josh
Whoops, not able to share the photo but when I asked my 7-year-old daughter, who is obsessed with your channel, if the snake was a "regular," (meaning not a conda) she said, "oh that's a normal" immediately. ☺
Honestly you don't need a pet as demanding as a reptile until you are old enough to take care of it entirely on your own. Snakes can be expensive to maintain and if they need a vet visit it gets even more expensive.
ATTN SNAKE DISCOVERY. You need to do a new video about all of your hognoses since this video is a little dated. I don’t know if you actually read comments on videos. Plus you get thousands of comments on new videos. So you may never see this. But I thought it was worth a shot. Your channel has really been the medicine I needed to get me through so tough times-not vivid thankfully. Just other health issues. Thank you and Ed for all of your hard work and passion for animals!
My fiance put down a deposit for my first snake, an albino western hognose! He was my Valentine's day present. We are officially bringing him home next Friday and I'm very excited!
I’m so glad I found your videos months ago I’m hunting a hog nose at all the reptile shows I can go to but only found one baby eastern that was to pricey.
My hoggy Snoop Dawg finally ate after a month! Keepers: Reptilinks Frog Juice works wonders. Make sure pinkies are the right temperature by touching them before feeding!
I had a hognose, as a kid. He was beautiful, and very placid, easy to handle. I found him in the back pasture, close to a spring, on our farm. He turned over to play dead (the only time he ever did, after that he was okay with me handling him), and vomited up a toad. So, I knew what he ate! My mother let me put toads in the freezer, for winter food. I kept him a couple of years, then took him back where I found him, and let him go. The only pet reptile I ever had. His colors were very vivid, really pretty snake. 💜
I have been watching so many of these videos and I'm in love with the Western Hognose. I want one so badly. They're adorable and fascinating. I used to think I just wanted a ball, or rosy boa, but I'm now more informed about the particular challenges of those snakes and the hognose sounds more up my alley. Plus, just look at that face!
I just got my first western hognose a day after my birthday of the 11th this week. She's a 4 month old female het hypo and really gorgeous she looks compared to the image the breeder showed me via text. I was also offered a male het hypo as an extra bonus for my belated 26th birthday, which was a surprise from him, but I have until the end of December. They're so adorable even as babies ^_^
Lol mine too:D he is so hissy and strikes a lot when I have him outside his enclosure. But when he is in his enclousure he is sweet. Hope I will tame him someday :D My hognose is just 2 months old.
Their so adorable :3, I can't wait to get a baby western hognose I do have a 10 gal tank at the moment and can you use coconut fiber substrate as a bedding??

"They don't move very fast" Someone didn't tell the Hognoses at Imperial Reptile and Exotics in Orlando. I'm looking into getting a hognose and visited them, and when I asked to see their hognoses they took one out to show. It kept trying to run off and explore the store and it was really quick.
I was telling some people about Hognosed snakes yesterday and gave them the link to this video. Then while moving some junk in the yard today we found a Hognosed snake! She was kinda cute, We took pictures of her and set her free.
I found a HUGE hognose here in Oklahoma, it was a completely black and about 3 foot long or longer and had a huge hood that was about the size of the palm of my hand
I just came across a big one on out property back in September! I looked down and there was a snake, and I'm like huh, it's flat..weird. and then it got up, flared out and went off into the brush. This is the first snake I have seen down there (Houston County, mn). We have bull snakes and rattlesnakes. I had to google to find out what kind this snake was. Anyways, great video! Glad I came across it!
Hi Snake Discovery! Your hog nose snake is super cute. I really want to get one someday (I already have a bearded dragon and my sister has a ball python). We also have 3 parakeets. I think their little shovel faces are precious!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I found an Eastern yesterday morning, but it's coloration on top was dark and bland. The bottom however was a brilliant rose pinkish color. The top had bands on it, but they were harder to see because of it's more UNATTRACTIVE dark olive coloration. It did literally everything you talked about, including throwing up a blood sac as it was playing dead. It hissed EXTREMELY loudly and bluffed me, before it gave up, turned belly up opened it's mouth stuck out it's tongue, and went completely motionless. I flipped him over a couple of times and lol, he kept just going belly up again. Finally I just left him alone, stood about 10 feet from him, and waited for him to do the coast is clear thing hehe. It took about 7 or 8 minutes, but he finally scampered upon his way. And yes, he bluff struck at me, I'd say about 10 or so times, before he played dead. He was freaking hilarious! And gross. He made a mess all over himself when he played dead. Still hilarious tho. And before anyone on here wants to say something negative, NO I did not hurt him, Nor would I ever do that to a snake. And the only reason I messed with him alittle, is because hognose snakes are fairly rare and knowing what I know about them, I wanted to see if it was all true. Lmao, yes...Yes it is! They are such funny little snakes! This was in Southeast Missouri bythway, about 20 minutes from the Arkansas State line, and about 20 miles from Poplar Bluff Missouri.
Caught A eastern today southwest of Houston! We see them around about 1 or 2 times a summer! He was lucky I run the mower over the top of him last yr the 1 wasn't so lucky! tear drop! cool cool little snakes!
She is by far the coolest chic ive seen on CZcams. And so cute and down to earth. If only i can find a woman like her. Most woman i meet, freak out around retiles. I like a woman that likes reptiles because i like reptiles. Duh. I am a land surveyor and do a lot if work in the woods. I come across snakes all the time and cant resist picking them up for a closer look, even the ones that are venomous. Everyone at work alls me the snake man. My boss has told me never to bring back any more snakes to the office because of once there was an accidental release and the from desk receptionist almost had a heart attack! Lol. I have 2 hognose snakes and 3 huge blue tale skinks and a sqirrel, all from different job sites. All were babies that would have possibly died due sections of their enviroments being chopped down for developement.
I love the Hognose snakes... I get the eastern on my property. I love finding them. we have a pond close by full of American toads... that's why they love my property lol
I really wanna convince my boyfriend to let me buy a Western Hognose but he's super scared of snakes so I sent this to him to try and convince him that they aren't to be feared. So thanks for making this video ☺️☺️
They are native to southeast Wyoming and we don’t have a huge abundance of toads, they are here but you would really have to look, there are however a TON of field mice, no doubt in my mind that’s part of the reason the westerns are more inclined to eat rodents
Can you do a video on garter snakes? I'm going to be getting one in a few months and even though I've done lot of research, a video from a known expert would be awesome!
I didn't; I actually quite like the normal morph. My friend/roommate is considering a sand boa, so maybe he'll get an interesting morph. I've been enjoying learning about snakes; my girlfriend has had a black milk snake for some time and is thinking about getting a rainbow boa.
I'm sad now. I caught an eastern H.N. yesterday and now realize I must release it because it's full grown and will probably never take a mouse for food. It is such a calm loving snake.
Please do one of these videos on garter snakes! I'm getting one or more, and I want to know everything about them! Please please please teach us how to care for and breed garters! Mine, unfortunately, have to be wild caught because there are no breeders in my area, and they are completely native here, so I want to try to breed them to give a captive bred option!
The Eastern Hognose has all but disappeared here in east TN. I haven't been able to confirm their presence, not even with road kills for about 20 years now. Sadly the last I found was a road kill about 20 yrs ago.
2:12 is the cutest bluff strike ever
omg ya so cute
Haha totally agree!
i keep rewatching it, and i'm practically crying here, its so cute I cant
Haha poor guy
I just keep watching this bit over and over.

they also rattle their tails in the leaves, trying to act like rattlesnakes ,

She is by far the coolest chic ive seen on CZcams. And so cute and down to earth. If only i can find a woman like her. Most woman i meet, freak out around retiles. I like a woman that likes reptiles because i like reptiles. Duh. I am a land surveyor and do a lot if work in the woods. I come across snakes all the time and cant resist picking them up for a closer look, even the ones that are venomous. Everyone at work alls me the snake man. My boss has told me never to bring back any more snakes to the office because of once there was an accidental release and the from desk receptionist almost had a heart attack! Lol. I have 2 hognose snakes and 3 huge blue tale skinks and a sqirrel, all from different job sites. All were babies that would have possibly died due sections of their enviroments being chopped down for developement.
The hissing snakes sound like me, when it's winter and cold and snowing.
Madagascar Giant Hognose' snakes are awesome. Unfortunately, they'll all wild caught, but if there was a breeder, I would definitely get one.
Heard that eastern eat chicken scented and salmon oil scented mice very good. Nice video!
OMG !!
Their face are sooo adorable
Good explanation on the little hoggies! Your cute too!
Great video! The western Hognoses I've seen have been just plain Grey.
I want a hog nose snake!! They are so cute!!
I just love the color of the albino westerns
imagine if a hognose snake met a scavenger animal. the snake plays dead and the scavenger is just like "well, that was easy".
I love the Hognose snakes... I get the eastern on my property. I love finding them. we have a pond close by full of American toads... that's why they love my property lol
Lol the strikes without opening their mouths at all.
I really wanna convince my boyfriend to let me buy a Western Hognose but he's super scared of snakes so I sent this to him to try and convince him that they aren't to be feared. So thanks for making this video ☺️☺️
Just got my hognose yesterday looks like I got lucky with the breeder he is very friendly and just had his first feeding today
Ah i want a snake now..he seems a nice snake to cuddle with.
They are native to southeast Wyoming and we don’t have a huge abundance of toads, they are here but you would really have to look, there are however a TON of field mice, no doubt in my mind that’s part of the reason the westerns are more inclined to eat rodents
Can you do a video on garter snakes? I'm going to be getting one in a few months and even though I've done lot of research, a video from a known expert would be awesome!
They are so beautiful and cute lol
the westerns DO move fast when they want to lol
Hey! I'm in Minnesota (Saint Paul)! I also just bought a Western Hognose at the expo yesterday. Looking forward to raising her!
Congrats! Did you get any special morph?
I didn't; I actually quite like the normal morph. My friend/roommate is considering a sand boa, so maybe he'll get an interesting morph. I've been enjoying learning about snakes; my girlfriend has had a black milk snake for some time and is thinking about getting a rainbow boa.
That's awesome! You can't beat the normal wild-type coloration :-)
I'm sad now. I caught an eastern H.N. yesterday and now realize I must release it because it's full grown and will probably never take a mouse for food. It is such a calm loving snake.
Please do one of these videos on garter snakes! I'm getting one or more, and I want to know everything about them! Please please please teach us how to care for and breed garters! Mine, unfortunately, have to be wild caught because there are no breeders in my area, and they are completely native here, so I want to try to breed them to give a captive bred option!
Hogzillas are the best noodles in the world! So fun, smart and sassy
The Eastern Hognose has all but disappeared here in east TN. I haven't been able to confirm their presence, not even with road kills for about 20 years now. Sadly the last I found was a road kill about 20 yrs ago.
