    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Where can I find good info. on breeding?

My W. Hognoses are a few years old now, and I'm interested in breeding them now. I've never bred snakes before... just betta fish. I'm pretty sure the process is a little different. What do I need? What do I need to do? I think that Hognose.com is no more (I've seen it mentioned here a few times, and tried to check it out.) and I'm not sure where to go for information. I have more males than females in my little collection, and am looking for some more females to even it all out.

Can anyone direct me to some good, solid Hognose breeding info?

Thanks,
Nikki
 
Hognose caresheets

One that I found well written is at www.reptileallsorts.com
It's a care guide by Robert Gilbert with a section on breeding.
You can always use search engines like google or dog pile too. I found many hits off each.
Good luck!
 
Keeping and Breeding Snakes by Chris Mattison (Blandford press, 1988 and later revisions) is a good all around book for beginning to intermediate snake breeders. It will get you pointed in the right direction for sure.

Breeding Western Hognose Sankes is a pretty straightforward operation and follows general breeding for many egg laying North American Colubrids.
