They do this is one of their defense mechanism when feeling threatened, they will either flatten their heads and hiss loudly to look like a miniature cobra or they will play dead.

In captivity it does not happen very often, when it does it's with very young individuals, the first picture it's a hognose that I had just received and setup, the second and third picture (same hognose) is of one that I just hatched 24 hours prior and setup in it's tub.

Apparently I am that scary ;)

They are adorable laying there doing their best impression of road kill thank you for sharing :P

OMG, that is just TO MUCH !!!

How did I almost miss this ??? I wish one could be tagged, hehe.

That is just absolutely to die for. They have such personality. How can you not love such drama queens ?? I love the tongue hanging out, its the ultimate effort there, LOL.

Oscar worthy, I tell you, absolutely Oscar worthy.

I think I would be crying by laughing so hard. That is so adorable.

The first one is stunning. I didn't know they could have a black belly, wow. What is that morph called ? That black tongue and black belly.

Off I go to research. sigh. LOL

Thank you for sharing, those little snakes just absolutely crack me up !!! That really made my night :D

Ok, after a quick search I have a couple of favorites

Purple Conda (swoooon)

And ...Diablo !!!

:)

I love it when they do this. I only got to see it once, when I got my axanthic male as a baby. It was so cute. I wish I'd taken pictures.

My girls were both pretty small when I got them too, but they were both fearless!

Love the photos. The one at the top is gorgeous.

Dead snakes everywhere! The horror. The horror.
