Hognose snakes get their name from a specialized, upturned scale on their snout, which acts like a small shovel to help them burrow in sandy or loose soil. They are known for their dramatic defense displays, including puffing up and flattening their heads like a cobra, hissing, and feigning death by rolling over with their mouths open and tongues hanging out. Despite these intimidating tactics, they are harmless and rarely bite in defense. They come in a wide array of colors and patterns, including this Super Anaconda Western Hognose male we have in store for only $324.99.
