Eastern Hognose Snake


Photo By Todd Ratermann ©

The eastern Hognose Snake has two interesting ways to protect itself. The first thing it does when it feels threatened is to spread it's head and make itself look like a cobra. If that fails to deter it goes into a fake death roll, then ends up on it's back playing dead. If you turn him right side up, he immediately turns himself upside down again.
