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.

Breeding W. Hognose Snakes
My pair of Western Hognose are about 3 years old, and this is the first year they have bred. I surprisingly got 9 eggs from my female. Sadly all were ruined when I sent the incubator crashing to the floor about 3 weeks after they were laid. A week or so later all were dead save one. Hopefully that one will survive. My Baird's rat Snake eggs seemed to fare better, and I only lost two of them in the fall to the floor. (What a shame.)
I am curious to determine to chances of double clutching in Western Hognose. Is it usual for Western Hognose to double clutch? The female has regained all her pre-gravid weight, and then quite a bit more so I am not concerned that she would not do well if she double clutched.
Thanks,
Glenn B

A couple of a breeder friends of mine have double clutched but that was it out of all the others that did not. He has gotten one or two to do that out of all the years he has been breeding. All his other colubrids sure you bet, they double for him every year.

double clutching hogs
Yes, you can double clutch Western Hognoses. I've done it several times with a fat female. Quite often, this female would lay a second clutch without having been re-bred with the male. The second clutches were always smaller and not all of the eggs would be viable. So, go ahead and try.
