Eastern hognose?

Found this little guy while taking a group of scouts on a hike in Arkansas. They all thought he was a cobra by the way he was flattening himself out. I believe him to be an Eastern Hognose, but not %100 certain. Love the color patterns on him.

Later on that night, at our campsite, someone almost stepped on a copperhead. I was fast asleep and was not able get a look at it though.

Gorgeous! I haven't seen one of those in person, but Google Images agrees with your deduction. :D

Indeed it is an Eastern Hoggie.

Easterns are gorgeous and have the most impressive hood of all the hoggies IMO.

Love these little fellas. People say they don't make good pets but I had one years ago and he was great. Fed him toads and kept him for a long time but eventually released him back into the wild.
