Zina, you asked for it!

The hognose defense is comical to say the least. I've never seen one play dead in person, but can only imagine how funny it must be. I've seen a video or two that show the whole rolling over and "dying" process. One even showed the snake flipped right side up and it immediately "died" again, priceless!

I think it's hysterical to see Cosmo flatten out and hiss, which is rare for him. He's still tiny at just over 60 grams, so to hear such a racket is too much. He seems to actually believes he's scary.:rofl:

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

I have a feeling that by the end of the year you will be a hognose owner ;)

The one on the top is actually a purple conda het albino which is why he has a black belly (this is one of the conda characteristic along with reduce pattern.

He is a great male and breeder now and has produced some smoking babies.

They do, they don't play dead very often, all that I have purchased never have except 1, and a few that I hatched did but it usually right out of the egg. Rare thing to happen I am just lucky my camera is in the snake room always ready to shoot

IF I do...I would definitely want one like that !! I didn't even realize it was a purple conda at first. I followed a link to "hognose morphs" and instantly liked the "purples" and dark reds. The pattern of the conda's is amazing, though. Then I googled purple condas and the picture of yours popped up. See, I have great taste, LOL !!

The eyes of the "diablos" are super cool, but overall, I would HAVE to have a purple conda, esp. if they have that ink black belly, too !

Your house must be the equivalent of Disney World. Like a "Reptile Disney World". You have such amazing and beautiful reptiles of all kinds!

But they make awesome display snakes !!

I would have to name mine after one of the great movie stars. Like "Marilyn Monroe" or something along those lines :) So much character and personality in such a small, cute snake :)

:rofl: well kinda, it's like living the dream, minus the janitorial work (hognose do poop a LOT) and feeder breeding.

I love what I do and I am fortunate enough to be able to do it and make my childhood dream come true and that is priceless.

that first one is so adorable! "I'm... I'm dead!" *tongueflick* "yes, very dead!"
