Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Western hog cage in basement
Hey team, I'm wanting to get my setup for a hog in my basement. Any tips or suggestions? I've got substrate and hides. I've kept hogs before, but I was in Texas and the climate was better. I'm in Illinois now. If I could keep him upstairs, I wouldn't post.
If you're doing it successfully, it would be wonderful for you to share!
Thanks everyone,!

I am thinking that I am missing various key components of information. Since, it looks like you have a finished basement. So, I would assume the only difference might be the need for a dehumidifier in the basement.

I do, yes. Just wondered if anyone else had thoughts. Coming from Texas, we don't have basements as prevalent. Humidity sits around 50%.

Baby, juvenile, sub adult, adult??
What size is that tank?
What are your plans for heat and viewing light? What about substrate?
Give us some parameters and we can help lots more.

Sub adult
Heat was going to use UTH and a led light.
Starting substrate is going to be worn bedding.
I think the tank is 20 long.

Because there are uncommon and isolated populations in Illinois, plains hognose snakes are a protected species there and cannot be legally kept as captives. Weird law, I know. Who would make the extreme effort of searching for and collecting a native Illinois snake with all the possible attendant problems associated with a wild caught specimen when an indistinguishable individual can be acquired so easily and cheaply as a captive born and bred? But apparently this is what the state of Illinois suspects will happen. I'm not judging you. I just thought you should know the facts.

You require a special permit from the department of natural resources to own western hognoses. I appreciate your response. I'm not sure what you're not judging me on. You should add the special permit piece to your statement for future education. If you know anyone who wants it, have them get in contact with Scott ballard.

Sorry,
You're obviously much more informed about the regulations than I am. When I read your post, I (wrongfully) assumed that as a new resident of Illinois that you were unaware or the status of hognoses in the state. Please forgive my ignorance
