I think Tori has the best explanation for this one. ive never heard of anything like this ever happening with hognoses before but they do play dead. guess the snake was just playing dead in the wrong place.
Glad the snake is ok though. but roflmao how dare it scare you like this

I'm still laughing...can you imagine her suprise when she realized that she might actually drown herself if she didn't un-die?

Re: I want a REFUND on the hognose!!!!
hahahahaha, good lord im glad she's okay... from that picture though she is definately not playing dead... they actually roll completely over flatten out, crap themselves and hang their tongue out of their mouth! it looks like you just caught her at an odd moment... Sledge does this to me all the time!!! he sees me and then boom he stops moving no matter what position hes in! lol!!!

That's exactly what I thought, Shannon. The light coming on just caused her to 'freeze' in that odd posture.

Re: I want a REFUND on the hognose!!!!
Western hognose snakes shed their tounges. Maybe that is what it was doing??? Did you find the tounge shed in the water? Anyhow, glad it was alright.
One of my females died this year
. Not sure what happened, she was about 10 years old & the mother of about 50 babies over the last 5 years. On the bright side, my other female laid 7 eggs on May 2nd
