Eastern hognose snake

Heterodon platyrhinos

Notes:

This guy played dead for two of these pictures, as hognoses are apt to do. In addition to this neat display they will also spread their neck similiar to a cobra, and will strike without biting. Very interesting defense mechanisms! (Just to prove he's not dead I included a picture of him slithering off, haha)
