Climbing branches
Hognose snakes may be fossorial, but that doesn't mean they don't enjoy a good climb every now and then. It's good exercise, encouraging healthy muscle tone. It also makes the most of your enclosure's vertical space.
Do hognose snakes climb trees?
In general, hognose snakes do not climb and therefore do not require any branches within their enclosure.
Do Hognoses like being handled?
Once your hognose is eating regularly, they are ready for handling. ... It's good exercise, but more often can stress them out, especially if your hognose is young. Note that Easterns and Southerns may be more defensive/flighty than Westerns, so it's better to restrict handling sessions to 1x/week for them.
