Introduction

This section covers the basics of care for the various species of Hognosed snakes. The species of Heterodon, Lystrophis and Leioheterodon each have different requirements to keep them healthy in captivity and ensure their long-term survival.

Each section has up to date information on each species and covers such aspects as temperature, substrate, enclosure design, lighting, humidity, feeding habits, and brummation requirements. When combined with the species information and photos, you will have a complete reference to each of the species of Hognosed snakes found around the world.
