Albino Hognose snake is found throughout Southern Canada through the United States up to northern Mexico. It is a frequent visitor to areas with clay or sandy soils. These include grasslands, swamps, and floodplains semi-deserts, and even some semi-agricultural areas.
Albino Hognose are comparatively tiny large, robust-bodied snakes. Their color and pattern are extremely diverse. Males are less tame than females, and adult lengths that are rarely greater than 38-51cm (15-20 inches). They get their name due to the form of their nose, which is created by an upturned matter, giving a “hog-like” appearance.
The Albino Hognose Snake isn’t venomous, however it has saliva that can result in symptoms such as mild itching and swelling.
Hides
A large enclosure allows you to have additional hiding places that will enable the hognose to keep cover when feeling stressed. You can include a hide on the hot side and the cold front so that the snake can have different options.
Additionally, a large hide is easy to clean and sanitize. However, the hiding place should only accommodate a coiled hognose and not too big that it will not be usable.
You can also include extra items in the enclosure like logs and branches to make a cozy spot for the hognose as you will often see your snake climbing on them. If you decide to keep the snake in a biologically active cage, you can include a nutrient fertile soil and clay mix. We recommend keeping the cage furniture simple.
Also, keep a sturdy, clean water bowl in the snake’s enclosure. It should be dense so that it doesn’t tip over and spill the water. The container should be disinfected regularly and changed every few days.
