what age will the hognose be that you’re bringing home? For a permanent enclosure a 3 x 2 is awesome. It will do just fine set up with a heat pad, or a heat lamp, as long as you can give it a warm spot of mid to upper 80s.
If you’re bringing home a baby, I would suggest starting out with a much smaller enclosure for it. As much to give the animal security as for you to actually be able to find it without having to dig up all the bedding.
I’m sure @noodlehaus and @ghoulishcresties and some others can chime in and provide more suggestions.

We have a heat lamp on ours and a led also for light.
3x2 is great size as said, if you can go to a 4 when adult then even better too
