I live in Southern MD and believe I found a E.Hognose today, perhaps someone could confirm the identification as s/he seems more colorful then the ones in my field guide and what I've seen on this board. Also the belly was black ... as where the field guide mentioned it being a ground/yellow color?? Also s/he never accutally "played opussum" for me, just flattened down and huffed, I really would have enjoyed the display

Below is a picture of the snake - I would love to know if this is a normal color, I think s/he is just beautiful!!

Thanks,
Stacey
