look at my new non-garters

[ssssnakeluvr]

red touch yellow, kill a fellow
red touch black, venom will lack

thats the one I heard....I t hink it was on a movie called "Ssssssst" Crazy movie about a guy injecting people with venom and stuff and turning them into snakes...his crowning achievement before he was killed was to transform one guy into a king cobra, only to be immediately killed by a loose mongoose.....was kind of a lame movie, but hey, I was young and it was cool....

Any move with action and animals are cool when your young.

Rhea, do they dig a lot? Is that the reason for the shape of their nose?

Oh very nice. Was gonna pick up a pair of easterns awhile back, but got all freaked out about frog availability (would you believe those things actually develop problems when you feed them rodents? Now I am talking Easterns, not tri-colors. I've read they love them rodents and are easy to keep).

Anyone know why they are not in Heterodon?

They are just so cute! I love hognoses. Thanks for sharing the pics

they do dig
in fact they're usually burrowed
but their noses don't have quite the shovel on them, as my western hognose's (Heterodon nasicus)

If i remeber rightly the shape also helps them root out frogs and the like buried in leaf litter an the like
