I've got a Monkfield 18"(W)x11.5"(D)x6"(H) viv (if that's what they call them...it's the low viv thingy with the glass top!) and I'm just wanting to know if that will be ok for a male hognose snake?
I know they like to burrow so I assume height is not an issue.
Please correct me if my research information is wrong.
I do have other normal height vivs if the Monkfield isn't suitable.
All opinions welcome...this would be my first hoggie so I want to 'get it right' for the little chap.
Thanks  |

| I reckon the 18" would probably be sufficient for the male adult, not usually grow larger than 2ft so the sizes of the 18" would more than likely do well enough. |

No idea when I'm getting him yet.
I've been in touch with some breeders and they're waiting for eggs.
They've had some 'locks' so fingers crossed!
I just want to get everything ready for him.  |
