Eastern Hognosed Snake
Heterodon platirhinos
30.834, -95.4659
Field Notes
Description:
The color pattern is extremely variable. Its color can be red, green, orange, brown, grey to black, or any combination thereof depending on locality. They can be blotched, checkered, or patternless. The belly tends to be a solid grey, yellow or cream colored. In this species the underside of the tail is lighter than the belly. This identification character may be easily observed if the snake plays dead. -Wikipedia
Habitat:
East Texas Pineywoods
Notes:
Again feeling uncertain about ID, but after comparing photos I've settled on the hognosed because of the shape of the head.
