  • Season Three Finale - Recap and the future!
    Jun 30 2025

    Finishing off 'Hogose; A History' season with the OG formula of just us two reptile gals talking about the things we find important, we bring you an episode where we share what we thought about the interviews we had this season and where we think hognoses are headed.

    We had some truly stellar guests on and made some hognose history with our dynamic discussions the past few months, and we could not be more proud or grateful for it! Thank you again to all our wonderful hognose friends and keep on keeping on.

  • Hognose History with Jeff Galewood
    Jun 1 2025

    The heart of the hognose community today, many would agree, is Jeff Galewood Jr. of JMG Reptile. In this wonderfully engaging and entertaining interview with Jeff, we round out our history of hognoses with fun stories, past experiences, and personal tales.

    And since we are well aware that Jeff Galewood has a large social media following and personality already, we endeavored to carefully curate our questions in such a way to hear things Jeff has never said before - and it seems we managed to make that happen!

    Please enjoy our final interview of Season Three with one of the most well-respected and well-known hognose OGs in the hobby!

  • Hognose History with Richard Evans
    May 4 2025

    The time is nigh! Our second-to-last interview of the season where we learn all about the history of hognoses in the reptile community takes place with none other than the LEGENDARY Richard Evans! Richard is the father of hognose morphology in this community and we have much to be grateful to this man for. Not least of all is that he is an absolutely lovely person who was entertaining and pleasant to work with for this episode.

    We hope you enjoy this extremely rare and historical interview with the namesake of the Evan's Hypo gene!

  • Hognose History with Kevin Rhodes
    Apr 6 2025

    On this episode of our Hogcast's "Hognose, A History" Season, we bring on one of the 'OG’s', who's been keeping reptiles since the late 80’s and started breeding in the 90’s. He was one of the very first to see the value in hognose snakes before they became popular.

    We were extremely excited and proud to present this opportunity to hear first hand experience and know-how from one of the original breeders of our time. It will be educational, it will be hard to hear at times but so important, and it will be fun and silly, too!

    Join us in learning about the history of hognose, with the one and only, Kevin Rhodes! (aka Hognose1 on his socials)

    To close out Season Two and gift our amazing listeners with a special Christmas episode, we invited Viek from Round Rock Reptile to come on our show and talk to us about brumation! It's a wee bit chilly out there for some of us right now, and many keepers and breeders of hognose are cooling off their hognoses for the winter as we speak, so it felt only right!

  • Recap and Extras; 2024
    Dec 10 2024

    A quick recap plus a longer discussion of extras when looking back on a whole year of the Hogcast!

    We talk about our sticking points (mainly humidity) and how our views have changed, the sticking points we have seen in the community surrounding glove use, and explain why a podcast with a nutritionist as a host doesn't talk about nutrition!

    Thank you so much for 62 followers, and we hope to capture more hearts (and moons!) next year!

    Nov 24 2024

    Welcome back everyone! Heart and Moon are both super excited to be back with such an important episode - on a topic that should be probably be considered before even getting a hognose snake!

    How to set up a biosecurity program that suits you is our aim with this first episode since Heart's move to her new home in Minnesota. Moon says we may know the diseases that run rampant in our reptilian community, but some folks may be unsure how to avoid them.

    And as Heart points out, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure -so let’s get to preventing disease outbreaks for our beloved scaley friends and discuss safe practices we believe to be beneficial.
