Hognose snake care, feeding, and dramatic behavior.
My partner keeps several reptiles, including two adult hognose snakes with a clutch of five month old babies. I have spent a lot of time observing how he cares for them. These are my notes on what I have learned and what I find most interesting.

Are hognose snakes good pets?
Hognose snakes can make good pets for people who appreciate their dramatic, hissy personalities. They’re harmless, expressive, and a little theatrical, which some people find charming and others find annoying.

What do hognose snakes eat?
When they are first hatched, and are very small, they can eat cut chicken hearts. As they get bigger, they transition to eating pinkies. Feed a hognose like most other pet snakes.
