A Comprehensive Guide to Breeding Western Hognose Snakes

(Sorry my audio/video got mis-aligned about halfway through! Maybe I'll re-record, maybe I won't, we'll see! Hopefully not too distracting!) Breeding Western Hognose snakes doesn’t have to be complicated if you understand the why behind each step. In this video, I walk through the entire breeding process from start to finish, based on real-world experience, not just theory. We cover everything from selecting truly ready females and proper brumation, to pairing behavior, ovulation timing, egg incubation, hatching, and raising strong, well-started babies. This guide focuses heavily on prevention over intervention, especially when it comes to egg binding, hydration, temperature management, and feeding strategies, so you can breed responsibly while protecting the long-term health of your snakes. Whether you’re planning your first clutch or refining your breeding program, this video is designed to give you the context, confidence, and practical knowledge needed to do it right. Topics covered include: Female readiness, body structure, and age considerations Brumation setup, timing, and hydration Pairing strategies and breeding behavior Confirming gravidity and ovulation timing Egg laying, incubation, and mold management Pipping, hatching, and early neonate care Baby bin setup and feeding strategies This is a long-form, comprehensive resource—perfect for breeders who want to slow down, learn the process, and work with the animal’s biology rather than against it.
