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.![]()
