He arrived today and I snapped some pictures before leaving him alone to get settled in his new enclosure. He's so cute!

And to show the size of him, here he is next to a standard sized business card.

So adorable!! I'm jealous, I want one so bad, but they're banned here because they're a native species. :(

he is just so stinking cute!!!! Man, he's cute!! I know absolutely nothing about them other then they are supposed to be the second best snake for a beginner (besides a corn lol and I fell in love with corns so didn't research them) but he looks so awsome! Like the little piggy of the snake world (hope that doesn't offend lol).

He's adorable!!!! The colors on him are stunning as well - the photo where he's got his face burried under himself being all bashful is too cute!!!!

Are they as rough as they look? I know I posted that before but it isn't showing.

No, piggy comparisons don't offend, me anyway! Yeah, they feel really interesting! Probably the most different feeling scales of any of the 13 species we keep.

Yay! He just ate for the first time today, always a great feeling. He ate right away.
Still trying to figure out a good name for him though ...

Names can be tough! I have a number of babies I have yet to name, but then I bring home one of the Tessera's today, and figured out a name for her right away. LOL

Tavia

Yeah, I have a suspicion this guy is going to be nameless for awhile.

Names are hard. I had a name picked out for the fire right away also, before we even have him and Spectra was harder. But I think it's cute and we call her Spec and Spot so far also. Thought it was a cute, fitting name for a ghost.

I've not seen many hognose but he is by far the CUTEST one I've seen. I really love his colors and his spots. I always sing the beginning of the polka dot bikini song when I see him :rofl:

We've got a couple of themes going for names, which usually makes it a lot easier to name new additions. But I'm not sure which of the remaining names in those themes fit him, I kind of want to name him in the same theme as my normal Western Hognose, Atticus. The only name in that theme I can think of is Kittanning, Kit for short. That's the one I'm leaning towards right now but I think I should get to know him a bit longer before deciding for sure.

I think Kittanning is a really cool name. I think Atticus is a pretty cool name too. You have some awesome names! The fire's name will be Hades and going to get some Parthenon columns and stuff to decorate his viv.

My son just renamed our hognose Mr. Hiss. Because he hisses allllll the time. We were going to get a western but my husband got attached to this little mexican at a repticon a couple years ago and home with us he came. They sure are unique snakes.

Hmm ... My husband just suggested the name Atherton, in the same theme that the Tricolor Hognose Niska, and a bunch of our other snakes are named in. So now I'm going back and forth between that one and Kittaning.

He just had his first outdoor photo shoot and did quite well.
