Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    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....

What size does a Western Hognose need to be to breed?

I picked up a trio of Western Hogs that I would like to breed but I am not sure if they are ready to breed yet. I believe at least one of the females is but the other female and the male I'm not sure about. Around what weight would they attain sexual maturity for each gender? Not sure of ages since they were picked up at shows.

Good luck! I'm hopeing my female is ready next season as well. We just picked up a second female at Havre De Grace this weekend...She's just an itty bitty thing, but they seem to grow so fast! :)
 
Breeding weights of females

Actually 160 is fine on most females, but I personally know they can throw viable eggs from 90 grams up.

I did not do it but I know someone that did it successfully.

My females range from 140 - 875, most around the 400 gram range.
