Recommendations for Hognose portability?

No such thing as a stupid question. The reason for asking questions is to get rid of ignorance, so it's good that you are asking questions to make sure of things. Instead of hate, I would call it criticism. No one is going to hate you for being curious.

I've never owned a hognose snake, but have several snakes so I'll lay out some basic care.

- at the least 2 hides. One on the hot and cold side.
- a water bowl with clean water at all times
- substrate hognose snakes can bury in(aspen, sani chips...etc)
- heat source controlled by a thermostat( NOT to be mistaken for a thermometer, thermostats control heat sources, thermometers measure temperature)
- secure locking system - snakes are escape artists

I'm not specialised in hognose care, so temps and other specific requirements can be filled in by actual hognose keepers/breeders.

Honestly, that is very helpful information. And thank you for understanding.
I'll be sure to make sure his living environment is the very satisfactory. I plan to put his cage on the top shelf of my deck. It's fairly large, and more of another floor than a shelf.

Pics of my desk. (the figure is there to help you get an idea of what I'm talking about (it's 12" tall)):

Would that be a good place? And if so, where would be a good place to get the cage?

It's not a bad place in itself, but that seems a bit small to be keeping a snake in. Hognose snakes are not big snakes, but it's my opinion that any snake requires some room to move about and stretch. For a snake that can reach 24+ inches, I'd recommend an enclosure about 24-36 inches wide and 18-24 inches deep.
