    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....

I am planning on getting a male neonate Western Hognose snake this coming week.

I am planning on using a 10 gallon aquarium with a 6"X11" heat mat.

a water dish and a hide will be provided of course.

Is there anything else I need to get prepared for this animal and will this setup last its lifetime?
 
You could use a 10 gallon for life for a male but if you are sticking with aquariums for caging, I'd think of a 20 gallon for an adult. I've always errored on giving more space per individual then less.
 
Thanks for the response! This animal will probably be moved to a larger area in the next year or so, as well as all my other snakes. I do not like aquariums very much and I was asking out of curiosity.
