Book excerpt: Hognose snake, (genus Heterodox), any of three species of North American no venomous snakes belonging to the circle of relatives Colubridae. They're named for the upturned snout that is used for digging. Those are the innocent however frequently-avoided puff adders, or blow snakes, of North the USA. When threatened, they flatten the head and neck, and then strike with a noisy hiss-rarely biting. If their bluff fails, they roll over, writhing, and then feign demise with mouth open and tongue lolling.Hognose snakes stay chiefly on toads and are capable of neutralizing the toad's toxic pores and skin secretions physiologically. They lay 15 to 27 eggs underground. The broadly dispensed species are the jape (Heterodox platy rhinos) and western (H. amicus). Both are heavy-bodied and blotchy; their ordinary duration is about 60 to eighty cm (24 to 31 inches).GET YOUR COPY NOW!
