Western hog size?

I was wondering what the normal adult size for a western hognose is? According to literature they get up to 36". I have one that Im not sure of the sex, but it is growing very fast. I have had it about a year and it has doubled in size, and is now the biggest western i have ever seen, measuring 24" and still growing like weed.

Its not a problem I was just wondering thats all

Also, just wondering... has anyone ever been bitten by a hog? I can see the fangs when mine is eating, looks like it would hurt!


here is a pic from when i first got it... its much longer and fatter now!

They will grow very fast but slow down when they have come close to their potential size.

I have been bitten countless times when feeding and I have let them chew on me to test what has been said with no ill effects.

Where did you get her from?

I got it from a woman in Jupiter that didnt want to take care of it anymore. She said she got as a baby from a local reptile show. I have had many snakes before but never any kind of hognose... i really like this one.

I wouldn't doubt it if it came from me. Hognoses are my favorite.
