Another Snake ID.

One of the cats found this in the flowers behind the pool.

Not sure exactly what it is other than harmless and in a rare change of the events I relocated it to the creek vs. killin it like normal.

Thanks guys, googled it and found a large variety of Hog Nosed snakes.

Really cool critters.

Eastern Hognose.

These are non-venomous snakes that don't bite people, even if provoked! They play dead and will roll over and writhe around, ending up with their tongue out and upside down. If you flip it over, it will promptly roll back over onto its back!

The first line of defense is interesting too. They will flare their neck and hood up like a cobra, and make a loud hissing noise. As soon as you touch it though, it will start like it is having a seizure and begin the death feign!

They eat lots of scorpions too
