What kind of snake is this?

[Landrover]

Cobra

You nailed that one............I vote with you!!!

I am "sure" if he was alive it would be easy to tell if he was a hog nose..... so from here on out, the garden club will "surely" have to refer to him as a dead snake. lol

Look at how different shaped the patterns are from the know hog nose to the snake in question.

It's a hog nose very good snake to have around! Why do people kill all the snakes and post it on here? Why not take a pic and ask before you get trigger happy. I would of thought on the green screen we would be a little more conservationist than just kill kill kill.

Probably the same reason people comment on threads without reading the whole thing and end up making accusations or asking questions that make them look silly.



His neighbor killed it and asked for help identifying it.

Make up your mind.

Am I wrong?

Looks like a Hog Nose. Guess you have me confused Curt.

It might be a hog nose, and I'm sure YOU think it's a good snake, but there is no such thing as a "good" snake. There are snakes that should die and snakes that should live, but "good".....NO. My point was it's either "good" or a "snake"...can't be both.

Eastern Hog Nose Snake... check out this article about having them as pets... They are pretty cool snakes.

Pretty cool article. I had no idea they'd do all that.

If you Google Hog Nose Snake, and click on Images, you'll get a LOT of different looking snakes that are all hog nose snakes. The link I posted above has a pic that looks very much like the one in the OP's post, especially those black patches just behind the head... AKA spread 'n atter... They are about the only snake (or any animal for that matter that eats the common toad...

To the point they will almost die, unless they get a toad. I had a Eastern for several yrs, and man he was picky. He would eat the different frogs from the pet store, but he had to be literally starving. Toads he would eat as fast as you could put them in there, but they weren't always readily available. He got real skinny every winter.

It's a hognose.

[okrattler]

Definitely an Eastern Hognose.
