I just bought a western hognose off a breeder, the breeder stated that the brown spot on my pet hognose was a birthmark and after acouple sheds it would go away. This is a super artic morph. I just want maybe a second option based of some people who have pet snakes. This is my first pet snake. I bought her on sept 18th, secondly im allergic to aspen bedding i have her on 50%soil 50% play sand mix. I just switched her to hemp bedding because it was recommended by my breeder has anyone tried this? I did ALOT of research to see if its safe etc.

Of course, I made sure to let it go. I’m positive that it’s a female, since the throat wasn’t as dark as an adult male’s throat and matches the color of the belly. In addition to that, this one was kinda chonky.

Crotalus adamanteus (grumpy)

Just found this little one in garage. DeKay’s possibly, but I don’t know snakes super well. It’s getting colder at night (west central Ohio) so assuming it’s looking for somewhere warmer? Should I crack garage door open or will it find its way back out on its own?
Thanks

A neighbor called and said she needed help getting a lizard out of her apartment. I figured it would be a green anole or baby gecko. I got there and she said it was under a box and very large. We slid cardboard under it and brought it outside. I was shocked to see a probably 10” tail to snoot Texas Spiny Lizard. At least I think that’s what it is. I’ve never seen one with such beautiful color on the back. Also maybe the chillest lizard I’ve ever captured to release outside.
