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.

why can't hogs be kept together?
Hi,
I am new to the hobby and I have a 24" x24" x24". I am thinking about keeping a 2-3 female adults together in this tank. would that be a problem? they don't eat each other will they? I have never heard of hog eating another snake or cannabalize their own kind so i don't see why they can't be kept together.

Stress...Transmission of disease...If one regurges or has abnormal stool you can't identify which one...On and on...Their are plenty of good reasons why not to cohabitate, but not a single one for cohabitation that benefits the animal.
No matter what you do, you're going to need separate enclosures for each one for quarantine purposes.

Snakes are opportunistic feeders. Which means it's not all that unusual for them to feed on one another even though they may not be a typical "snake eater' such as a kingsnake or indigo. I had a western hog eat a corn snake that was temporarily housed together while I was cleaning cages many years ago.
From a husbandry perspective alone, I would keep them separate.
