Greetings from Florida
Hi, my name's Viv. Got a female albino hognose November of 2014- named Brent (aka Snakie). She's never had a feeding problem so far and is an extremely calm hog. She only hisses when I surprise her when she's sleeping and she's known to strike with her mouth closed and hiss violently when I try to mess with food she's trying to eat (which is often because she doesn't understand that it's a lot easier to NOT eat the fuzzy sideways or butt first  ).
She's into bursted mice, cooked eggs, climbing into my hair and green leafy plastic plants.

Re: Greetings from Florida
Welcome viv, beautiful little hoggie you've got there. It's funny they're one of my childhood favorite snakes but I've never bought one...hmm.

Re: Greetings from Florida
Welcome aboard and I wouldn't worry about her eating butt first or folding over, it's just a thing some hoggies do she'll be fine

Re: Greetings from Florida
Hi Viv, she should improve the eating technique with practice. My little carpet python had a similar issue with sorting out where to grab the fuzzy mouse, and the BCI actually fell over into his water bowl while wrestling with a f/t quail chick, lol. They're doing much better now.

Re: Greetings from Florida
Beautiful snake. Some of my young snakes grab the fuzzy the wrong way too but I just leave them alone to figure it out and they do. No worries!
