With its voice!? Hey, evolution is a lot quicker than I thought.

I wonder if they could be trained to do leading politicians also?

Hognosed snakes are cool

Make good pets too, despite the fact that they are venomous. Their fangs are too far back to bite a human, unless you stick your finger down their throat.

too bad that's not a hognose, IW. it looks like some kind of brooksii. it's too thick to be a cal-king.


that's a hognose snake. several species are native to your region.

che, the fox snake isn't the only species that rattles its tail. most colubrids (kingsnakes) do that, as well as many milksnakes. also, hognose snakes are only modestly venemous. i've been bitten by a couple and after some chewing, i had a riteous headache for a few hours, that's about it.

It is. (For a broadish definition of hog-nose). It's a Leioheterodon madagascariensis, so I'll forgive you not recognising it.
