Meet Wilbur!

I had a hognose many years ago (when they were much cheaper and the only morph available was albino!), and I’ve been dying to get another one ever since. This little guy got posted by a local breeder and I felt like I just had to go get him.

He’s still in the settling in phase, so I haven’t gotten to handle him yet, but I’m looking forward to it!

This is Wilbur:

Wilbur is a cutie! Cute name, too. He looks like a Wilbur. Are you going to be adding more hoggies ?

Eeee! I’m so jealous- he is absolutely adorable!! Hognose have so much character, I always enjoy watching them and hope to one day have one of my own.

That’s what I guessed. (Adorable herps are so addictive?, aren’t they? ) I’ll look forward to you producing hognose beauties one day.

Okay, a few quick pics and now to leave him be for a while to settle in. He seems to handle well, very chill.

Also Wilbur is a great name and he looks like a very sweet and wonderful little man. Hoggies are the best :slight_smile:

OMG! So adorable! I keep boas and pythons but would love a hog. I think breeding him wouldn’t be a bad idea, as I think hognoses are very high in demand with not so much supply (compared to other species)

So it’s easy to find good owners, easy to care for, small, easily handled etc. Regardless, even just as a new friend he is too cute and amazing!!
