    What's that nose made of?

    I've always wondered what a hognose's nose is made of, because darn, that thing is hard! When Charon was trying to dig under my arm, it felt like pins & needles. I really doubt that thing is made of keratin (what snake skin is made of).

    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa ~Nephthys~ (aka "Linky")

    In a better place:     1.0 Pastel Western Hognose ~Charon~ 10/3/07-4/24/09

    If you need/want to know anything about Hognose snakes, just ask me.

    Is the nose a bone?
