    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 just got this big hog. She is huge and is over 36 inches(not sure on exact length as she is hard to get to stretch out) long and close to 1000 grams according to REM Exotics where she was purchased from. She is about as big around as a soda can. Bulky and buff. Im not sure how old she is. Ive tried to get some pics but shes pretty active and doesnt cooperate much, plus my iphone camera doesnt really capture her too well. Ive never seen any close to her size with weight included and Ive seen and bred a lot of hoggies over the years. As much as I would like to breed her, Im not sure if there are any males that can compete (If you know of any I would be interested). I would like to see more pics or descriptions of large hoggies too if you happen to have any.

thats one of the biggest hognose's i ever seen,u may want to lay off the weight lifting for a while...lmao.great pics,thanks for sharing.
 
You def have to watch her (and your hand) when she eats! Lol!!! She has a huge mouth and flies literally out of the enclosure with her mouth wide open. She could eat a f/t medium rat with ease but I usually give her 2 mice or a small rat. Typical hoggie appetite but on a larger scale...swallows em however she happens to grab em. She lays large infertile eggs every so often...poor gal is destined to not mate. My big lovable old maid!! Lol!! Thank you everyone for all the nice comments so far.
 
Def not proven. She is not by far a picky eater and eats anything placed in front of her. This would include normal sized males! I would be happy if someone could find a male large enough for her. Last season I tried thinning her out a bit. That only took her weight down to still over 900 grams...not near small enough to be able to breed and she's shed twice since then. I gave up. If someone has a male that may be able to compete please pm we can discuss a price.
 
You will never find a male that will come even close to that size... A very large male would be in the 150 gram range... One of my biggest males is at 125 grams and that is pretty large for a male...

You would be suprized at how capable a small male can be when it comes to breeding large females... Believe it or not, an average sized male will be able to handle her... A female hog will very rarely feed on a male...

The only thing I can see being a problem is her weight... People always think bigger is better when it comes to breeding but at her size she might not even ovulate...
