I want a REFUND on the hognose!!!!

Western hognose snakes shed their tounges.

This is true of all snakes.

What a great sight

Did you never had your thamnophis play dead? I have experienced it multiple times now with the concinnus babies. You take them out and suddenly they are 'lifeless', put their tongue out and let their head float to the side. Great sight . I can not open my hand though, they very quickly become alive again.

what is their normal life-span anyway?

Not sure, my oldest one(male) is 12 years old now

I found this thread and thought I would bump it up since it had been 3 years since the last post.
I got such a kick out of reading it. Makes me want to get a hognose.

I am surprised you don't have one yet.

It looks as though it fell into the water dish and froze that way lol, having a really good dream perhaps?

[flickerfriend]

A dream of playing dead and being set free in attempted burial?

Wow, my heart skipped a beat when I first read this- I was also very confused because I haven't sold any hognoses in quite sometime.

I have to admit I was pretty upset while reading the first few lines as I was wondering why an email or a phone call wasn't made so I could resolve this.

Glad it was a joke, at least now I know to fully inform people of hognoses playing dead when I sell them (which isn't often) I just assumed anyone purchasing them already knew about this trick of theirs.

If I remember correctly this was my personal pair I sent off during a rough period in my life and had to downsize my collection drastically.

well, I do feel better knowing this isnt a recent thread and my hoggies are fine and I don't have some pissed off person blasting me on the internet without contacting me lol

Cheers,
Kevin
