Western Hognose - Vitamin D

Postby tobiasf » Fri May 22, 2015 4:37 pm

Hi All,

I would like to know if a Western Hognose Snake needs Vitamin D supplication or will he benefit from it? As some people say they do need it.


Thank for clarifying

I reckon your snake will be just fine without it.

Most snakes get all the nutrients, vitamins etc. from their prey.
Rodents will provide all that your snakes need.
Vitamin supplements are mainly needed when it comes to Lizards etc. , snakes are fine without them.
