Western Hognose
Heterodon nasicus
A small, upturned-nose shovel of a snake with the theatrical range of a silent film actor. Mock-strikes with a closed mouth, hisses like a punctured tire, then flips belly-up and plays dead with its tongue out. All bluff, no follow-through.
Forgiving of a missed misting or a late feed.
