Western Hognose Snake
(Heterodon nasicus)
Texas, USA – "Tex," this tiny local guy with a turned-up nose is one of best reptile actors around. Often mistaken for a pygmy rattler, he can imitate a rattlesnake or a deadly cobra. And, if that doesn't scare you away, he'll play dead! Totally harmless, but best for school-age audiences, ages 6 years and up.
