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.

Hognose Set ups ok?
Hi, I just wanted to double check I am caring for my snakes well. I have two young hognose snakes. They are each in a ten gallon tank of their own. Their substrate is currently kaytee brand paper bedding. They each have some sort of ornament to bask on and each have a shallow water dish. The temps have been ok but not great lately because my window was jammed open, but it is fixed now. While it was jammed their warm spot was in the lower 80s. What temps should I be aiming for? Also, I have been feeding them each 1 f/t pink about 2x a week. Is that ok? Please give me any concerns, tips, or suggestions you may have- I want to provide the best care that I can. Thank you!

As far as temperatures, you want the overall enclosure to be in the mid-70s and the hot end to be around 90. This gives them plenty of range to choose from. Regarding feeding, it depends on how large they are. You want to feed them something about as big around as they are, but twice a week is appropriate since these guys have such a high metabolism.
It's not really a concern if the temps dropped for a short period, they go down to 50 degrees during brumation. If you're not prepping them for breeding you obviously want to avoid that, but it won't hurt them for a short period to drop a few degrees.
