    Where can one get toads? People say to feed a hognose snake toads but where can you buy these from (sure in the summertime you could get alot) but when winter arrives where can these toads be found?

    You should be able to get them eating mice. Rarely are hognose snakes fed toads in captivity, especially the captive bred. If you've got a WC I'm not sure how difficult it is getting them switched over.

    scenting should work. i have only kept a couple WC, and scenting worked out after a couple months.

    buy a captive breed one and you wont have that problem. I have had WC snake but i think if it can be bought in the pet trade buy it. theres no reason to keep a wild hognose. theres plenty in the pet trade and in tons of different morphs. just my 2 cents of course

    Like these guys have said,its not hard to get a hognose to take mice.What I do is I have A toad in the freezer and I just take it out and rub down the snakes food.Works well.
    You really should never have to feed them toads,and if it WC then it should be let go.
