[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 19659, member: 10"] We do have a snake in South Jersey that is about the coolest animal ever - the Hognosed Snake. I woudl find them pretty often in the Pine Barrens [i] When threatened, the hognose snake exhibits perhaps the most unusual bluffing behavior of all the snake species. This behavior begins with the snake inflating its head and coiling. It will hiss loudly and strike (with its mouth closed). If this display fails to scare a potential predator away, the hog-nosed snake plays dead by rolling over on its back with its mouth open and tongue hanging out. It may also release a foul smell. Curiously, if the “dead” snake is placed back on its belly, it quickly dies again, rolling upside-down yet another time. The snake remains in this position until it feels safe, then has a look around and moves away. The hognose snake is found in dry habitats such as fields and forest edges. It preys primarily on toads and salamanders.[/i] They also will "rattle" their tail in dry leaves - sounds like a rattle snake! They are awesome, I woudl run into one while trail walking and teh **** thing does all of the above, ends up on its' belly playing dead - too funny in person! [/QUOTE]
