My weirdo big breeder western hognose female is the same way! Great snake to handle, if a little bit energetic during the warmer months, but bring out a food item on the tongs, and she makes sounds that make you think she's a rattlesnake, hoods and raises herself like a cobra, and opens her mouth ever so slightly to stick her tongue out at you. It takes her a good 15 seconds usually to stop looking at you and turn to the food to eat.

Great bulls, one of my favorite native species!
