    I've never had this happen with my hognose, but I've had loaches, who'd convinced me of their demise

    I almost flushed a clown loach once because I thought he was dead. XD

    LMAO...I take it that no one warned you that hognose snakes will "play dead"? Like was said she must have been in the water when you turned the lights on and she flipped over and played dead. Wait unti she has babies and shortly after they exit the egg and see you, flip over and pretend to die! Then you will really freak! It is very common for all hognose, they will even have "death spazums (not spelled right) If you right them they will immediately flip back over and preceed to mess themselves and finally "die". It is all very dramatic and supposed to discourage anything from eating the "sick" snake.
