Eastern Hognose

Next time you see one (and are positive it isn't anything venomous!), feel free to pick it up! These guys rarely bite, I've never heard of a wild one biting someone. They usually play dead though! Very neat to see, they flatten out their necks and open their mouth up wide and stick out their tongue. They sometimes hiss too, but don't let that scare you off, they're just big bluffers!

Ok re-did my suggestion because the typo was bothering me :)

Obviously supposed to be hognose, not hognise haha. Great find though, one of my favorites!
