After a surprise second prelay shed last week, Calypso is starting to lay her second clutch! It’s only her first season so clearly she’s a little over achiever 😂 She’s following the exact same pattern as before, including laying the first egg in her hide after having had a nice dig around her lay box not two minutes before 🙄 Well, whatever makes her comfortable!

We’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to @hognosebest Sandie and Adam have been so supportive this past year. I had to have a serious think as to whether I wanted to continue on my journey as a breeder. I seemed to hit a lot of bad and no good yet, but this isn’t a sad post. My mum encouraged me to keep going, and Sandie and Adam have been an incredible help at getting us through this difficult patch. Without further ado, I’d like to introduce Poppy (Normal het Albino) and Alani (Albino). Two hognoses who are most likely female, but might end up being male, lovingly bred by Hognose Best. Sandie and Adam brought them to us personally, and it was lovely being able to talk hognose for hours and really feel part of this amazing community. We’re proud to watch these two thrive and hopefully mark the beginning of a better future for Spitfire Hogs. . . . #newbeginnings #spitfirehogs #hognose #hognosesnake #hognosesnakes #hognoseofinstagram #snakesofinstagram #albinohognose
