Ah! Good choice. Love the little hognose that glares at me daily. Still trying to get him to eat regularly tho. But I've only had him for a month.

Geckos Etc has a pretty good selection of Hognoses.

I think it took me nearly 3 months to get my hoggie eating regularly and completely switched to frozen thawed prey items. Worth it though!

Both the hogs on the SMR site are established FT feeders from 2014, not hatchlings.

I think it's mostly because my guy is a little bit of a nervous fellow. He does feed on F/T no problem.

Thanks everyone. I am still looking. I am just a little hesitant to buy online. Having to rely on breeder to be honest....

Google Don Soderberg. South Mountain Reptiles. Rest easy. He's authored a book, posts on this site and FC occasionally, been breeding for years, is known internationally. Check out the two hognose snakes on his site under surplus. They are adorable hogs. My Ayasha, ET, and Barry Allen are all from him and they are perfect. And check out his guarantee.
Pet stores can be a nightmare, and you can get scammed at a show. It's really about reputation. We have absolutely stellar breeders on this site, but I don't think anyone I know does hogs...

Don has a great reputation. I looked into him when I was researching palmetto corns. Deborah from Stewart reptiles works with hoggies too. Before I found this forum I was on bp.net and she helped me get my little girl eating. Expos can be great, but there are a lot of flippers there as well who know nothing about what's on their table. It's sad, it didn't used to be that way.

This annoys the crap out of me. 95% of the corn snakes at Ohio shows seem to be flipped with no records, so they get labeled according to whatever the seller thinks it looks like.

It can be expensive to buy from a large established breeder like SMR or SRCorns, but it's 100% worth the extra money for a quality animal. I have several snakes from both and couldn't be happier with them.
