Well, believe it or not, things got kind of heated in the debate about whether or not this was a hognose snake. (paddlers forum). Experts were emailed and money challenge bets were offered.
I used to have a Western Hognose as a pet and he ate pinky/small mice. Read some advice to never give him a toad or he might expect his preferred food and refuse the mice. I don't think it's impossible that he would have eaten a fish, but it's not an experiment I would have ever tried. From what I've gathered, if this was a hognose, it would have been the first evidence in the wild of a hoggie eating fish. Anyway it was an entertaining debate.
BTW they say hognose never bite people, but Piglet would try to bite me, to the point that I wore dish gloves when picking him up, and would get little pricks in the glove material from his little rear 'fangs'. I gave him to a herper, need to find out how he's doing and if he's still so ornery.
