My western hognose - Winston
We got this little guy about a month ago. He ate right away, then we lost power and our house got really warm so he took about a week and a half off but he's eaten really well the last two times for us. We're keeping him in a 6 quart tub on a pad with thermostat. It stays about 82 on the cool side and 93-ish on the warm side. He rarely uses the warm side though. We feed him a pinky mouse every three days. So far he hasn't shown any inclination to hiss, bite, flare up or play dead. Mostly he eats, hides and looks cute.
We named him Winston after Winston Churchill. He's my first colubrid and to be honest, I'm hooked. I could see having an anaconda and an albino or two. LOL.
Here's a couple pics from when we first got him:
