Eastern Hognose snakes are so neat! They are big bluffers!

Go Google "adder" and look up its location, you will find out they are not on this continent :) This is a harmless snake that when startled, spread their neck and hiss. It's all just a bunch of bluffing. This is a species that rarely bites, they are just trying to look more intimidating.
