Can you please post those pictures of the Southern hognose snakes you photographed from Maryland and Virginia. While suitable habitat does exist there, To my knowledge there are no records. You may have new records for both states!
Thanks again

Oh boy! Here we go again. lol

I'm open to whatever. If they have been found there, great. the correct habitat does exist up there. Museum records regarding distribution of certain taxa have and always do change. The secretive nature of these snakes also may assist in it being greatly overlooked. If populations are still there, without a doubt they are very restricted or isolated.

Hey Kevin,
Historically they have never been found in either of those 2 states... liljenni is full of it up to her eyeballs which is why she has not produced a photo... Even if she did, how can we be sure that it is truely being represented...nFor all we know, she could have had one as a pet a took the picture in her yard...

She said she had found them numerous times or at least more than once yet no other person in those states ever found one...

If she did find a hognose in either of those states it was 100% without a doubt, an eastern... They are quite common in Va and Md...
