first dont panic. my hoggie has only shed 2 times in 10months. hognose snakes dont seem to shed as often as other speices of snakes. a few questions how old is your snake? what wieght is it? how often and what is it feeding on?
my hoggies are just over a year and ive had em for a few months and have only shed once with me and it was december that they last shed, i dont think that they shed as often as other snakes.
1.0.0 Amel stripe(Dezzi) 0.1.0 Snow Corn (Rizzie) 1.1.0 western hognose (Huff and Puff) 1.0.0 Leopard Gecko (Tango) 1.0.0 Fanfooted Gecko (Dave) 1.0.0 Budgie (Lorne) Thanks to Kizzig for the sig xx
yes we think so, every 2-3 months is about avaerage for Wilbur.
It's weird because they are supposed to have high metabolisms so you'd expect them to grow and shed more quickly..... that's if you can get them to eat that is.
Wilbur is on a roll though- he's not missed a feed for about 2 months! WOOT!
I don't see this high metabolism thing, hognose shed about 4 times a year in my house for the first 1- 2 yrs they grow very slowly then all of a sudden they go mad and gain size maturity in the last year then ready to breed.
If hognose were supposed to have such a high metabolism they'd feed more often and grow at a faster rate earlier in life or throughout their lives - my thoughts anyway lol
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
