Eastern Hognose

Eastern Shore, VA

A nice female hognose around 2.5 feet long that we found on the side of a grassy park trail on the VA Eastern Shore this weekend. She was very well behaved. Some hissing, but not hooding or trying to get away or attempting to play dead. Took some photos and put her back on the ground where she slithered off into the brush. Would have loved to have taken her home, but it was state/park property - not private.

Ilike the colors on her, ours around me are army drab olive with a melanistic thrown in every so often.

Really neat find!!! She sure looks healthy,hopefully she'll lay about 40 eggs in the wild and keep the population going strong. Kevin
