I'm reading up about hognose snakes rn and I want one SO BAD but I can't have one both bc my gf has a phobia of snakes and also bc I don't think I have the heart to feed it mice 😭
#i dont think ill ever really have the opportunity to get a snake with my gf's phobia
#but if i did it would need to be an insectivore
#apparently hognose snakes can also eat eggs but id imagine an egg only diet wouldnt be very nutritionally balanced for them
#and im not about to buy an animal just to neglect it
#(they can also eat amphibians and lizards but that can introduce parasites to them AND i still dont think id have the heart for it)
#theyre so cute tho omg. they crawl in between your fingers and take little sippy sips from water
#ideally their startle responses wouldnt be something id ever see bc i wouldnt want them to get stressed out but even THOSE are cute
#they flatten themselves to the ground like a pancake to make themselves look Bigger but they actually just look cute
#they flare their neck out to pretend to be a cobra but when baby snakes do it its adorable
#instead of biting to ward off predators they hit them with their noses
#and if that doesnt work they full on play dead. LITERALLY roll onto their backs and loll their tongues out
#and if someone flips them back over when theyre doing that theyll roll back onto their backs again like noooo dont look at me im deeaaad
#they get really excited about feeding time too and apparently some of them will open their little mouths like a baby bird
#mice are one of their main prey sources in the wild and to my knowledge they don't eat fish
#but when they're babies you gotta teach them to eat frozen/thawed mice by putting juice from a tuna can on it like you're weaning a kitten
#once they get past their picky toddler stage tho they'll come up to the front of the cage and beg for food
#i want a snek so bad 😭
#someone who can take really good care of a snake without getting in their feels about feeder mice please get one so i can hang out with it
