The hiss of a Hognose Snake! This is a defensive behavior. He was in shed during this. He never usually acts defensive even during shed. Maybe this is his way of showing that I took too long to get him out of the container while cleaning his enclosure. Hognose will mock strike, as you saw. The most amazing thing about them, is that they can even play dead! Rolling around, flipping upside down, with mouth open and tongue sticking out! #hognosesnake #hognose #snake #hiss #cute | Mark’s Reptiles

This is a harmless eastern hognose snake playing dead, a defensive tactic that they usually deploy after huffing and inflating themselves with air to appear larger. Though I think the impact on the snake is usually minimal, I try to avoid this as sometimes they will regurgitate meals! That being said, it’s quite the spectacle to watch!

The Eastern Hognose Snake is renowned for its dramatic defensive behavior of playing dead. When threatened, it initially flares its neck like a cobra and hisses loudly to scare off predators. If this display fails, it resorts to playing dead in a highly theatrical manner. The snake flips onto its back, convulses, releases a foul-smelling musk, and even lets its tongue hang out to mimic a lifeless state. This convincing act deters predators who prefer live prey, allowing the snake a chance to esc

wildtiere erklaert🦏 on Instagram: "The Hognose Snake is a fascinating, non-venomous serpent primarily found across North America, named for its distinctive, upturned snout that aids in burrowing through sandy or loose soil. This snake is perhaps best known for its elaborate and dramatic defensive display, often being called the “master of playing dead,” or exhibiting thanatosis. When threatened, the Hognose will first engage in a remarkable bluff: it flattens its neck to look like a cobra, hiss
