Gaping, along with playing dead, is some of the threat displays hognose snakes use to detour predators.

Thanks!
That's an awesome pic.
Of course; my email is 703Thompson@bellsouth.net. Email me and i'll send you a higher resolution of the photo. Thanks.
Dan...can I have your permission to use this photo in Center for Snake Conservation presentations and publications. It really shows the enlarged toad popping teeth! Thanks.

Thanks!
Awesome photo Dan!
You have a great collection of snakes!
Wow! What a bluff!
Fun perspective, really nice! For all the hognose snakes in the southeast, I don't tend to see them. I'd love to see the gaping mouth routine -- or even the playing dead drama act. A fascinating genus.
Ava T-B: Thanks!
auntnance123: I do, but none that i'm happy with.
Welcome to Project Noah, Dan the Man.
Oh wow! do you have any additional photos of this great snake?
