ABOUT THIS SPECIES
Western hognoses are compact, terrestrial burrowers with an upturned “hog” nose built for digging in loose substrate. With enough depth to tunnel and a couple of snug hides, they’ll often spend part of the day buried and then emerge to cruise the enclosure edges, especially late afternoon and around feeding routines.
