Drag the sun. The sheet states a night temperature, so the rail follows it.

The cool side, 24–29°C, dropping to 16–24°C at night. This sheet states the cool side only. It gives no warm side or basking figure, so the hot end is not in our data. Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.

ขนาดตู้
The minimum enclosure size recommended for housing an average-sized single eastern hognose is 36"L x 18"W x 18"H; Particularly large females will need to be housed in no smaller than 48"L x 24"W x 24"H

อาหาร

Feeding rhythm

every 4–5 dAs an adult
7Meals in 28 days

Twenty-eight days, one row. Each band is a meal window. The sheet gives several ages on one line; this is the adult figure.

Why

The windows widen as they go because the interval is a range: four meals after a 10–14 day cycle land anywhere between day 40 and day 56.

The sheet stateshairless mice, hairless rats, quail eggs, small reptile eggs, green anoles, captive-bred frogs/toads, Reptilinks; Established juveniles should be fed every 4-5 days, and adults should be fed once per week

คำถามที่พบบ่อย EN

Is it venomous?

It is rear-fanged with a mild saliva that helps it subdue toads. Bites on people are rare and usually minor, but some people react to a chewing bite, so we handle calmly and never hand-feed.

Why did it flatten its neck and then play dead?

That is its whole bluff routine. It hisses and spreads a hood, and if that fails it rolls over with its mouth open. It is theatre, not illness.

Is it hard to feed?

It can be. In the wild they eat toads, so some youngsters need their rodents scented before they take them. Buy one that is already eating unscented food if you can.

How big does it get and does it dig?

Usually under a metre, and yes, it digs constantly with that upturned snout. Give it deep loose substrate to burrow in.

Every line above is deduced from a value this sheet states, and names which one. Nothing here is a general recommendation. What the sheet does not state is listed too, rather than left out: a kit that looks complete is worse than one that names its gap.

What this sheet states

TemperatureHumidityEnclosure sizeActivityOriginDietSourcesUVB

This sheet states 4 of 7 of the fields this product runs on. What is missing turns something off: enclosure size audit, day/night engine and awake count on the globe, the diet section. We show the gap rather than fill it with a plausible number.

UVB is measured but does not count: it is absent from 421 of 678 sheets, and on most of them that is not a gap, since a nocturnal snake's sheet has no reason to state a UV index. Counting it would call the library incomplete without cause.
