A belligerent, arrogant, or name-calling response is completely uncalled for and does absolutely nothing to educate people who come here for help.
Non-judgemental replies are far more effective and open minds to further inquiry.
Please bear in mind that if you know NOTHING about snakes except what you've been told (like many who post on this forum for the first time), you are considered ignorant in the matter, not stupid, offensive, or mean.
Also, the snake does not look badly harmed. Hognoses often expel blood and smear themselves with it during the "death" display.
