    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....

hello! I haven't posted on here before but I figured I would get some correct info here....

I was wondering, on average, how many eggs a large female western hognose will have in a cluch? It will be her first one but she is HUGE, just wanted some info as to what to expect.

Also, for those who have bred them, is it true that they will lock up (or not lock up if she's not interested) in about 30 minutes??? I hope so, we are excited to see that almost right away!

Another question is, must we put the female in the males enclosure or is it just as sucessful to put the male into the females enclosure?

Thanks for any advice... I'm good at breeding ball pythons but I just couldn't resist trying hoggy's! :)

They have between 5-30 eggs.
How quickly they lock up all depends on the snakes, usually it is within 1-2 hours of introduction.
Many put the females into the males cage. I do not know if it really matters.
