Only been is captivity since April and he is such a champ! Sorry for the vid quality, had to use my phone :(


YouTube - Eastern hognose feeding on ft unscented mice.

Congrats, Jenea! I know you love these guys. Is this the only one who has taken f/t yet?

Thanks Michael. This is the only one fully on unscented.

That is quite the acheivememt Jenea... Congratulations and thanks for the cool vid...

nice video thanks for sharing..

Great video! Very nice looking eastern!

Nice video. Thanks for posting.

The vid's great Jenea. I love how the just reach out and wrap their face around food.

I've determined that's why mine misses so much of the time, he's still on live toads and frogs, because while he's just REACHIN' they are boppin' over to the other side of the tank :lmao:. All the more reason to get him on F/T mice though I suppose.

Thanks Quig. Try getting him on f/t toads first, that will make the switch so much easier.

No they do not.

Here are some adult easterns that are not black

or do easterns have a bunch of different colors or are they local differences???

Tons of colors! As to locality, I do belive there may be something to that, but there has not been enough research to prove or disprove it. I am working on trying to get locality pairs, to see what happens, but it is more difficult than you would think.

Those Easterns are stunning. Can they subsist entirely on rodents for life?

Dan

They can, you just can't feed them like a corn or king, or they get obese. Very fine line between a thick bodied snake and an obese one.
