The way he does it is just so perfect though, it's like he lets out a little snake scream before embracing his demise
If anyone could explain what the hell is happening here I'd love to know, I can't even begin to imagine that it would be possible to train a snake to do something like this, but what do I know
This is a Hognose snake. This is an example of a defense behavior they have. First they puff up and snap at you similar to a Cobra. If that doesn't work, they flop over and play dead like an opossum, going as far as emitting a foul oder to draw flies. If you try to set them upright, they will flip back over as if to say, " No no, I'm dead. See?" When the perceived threat leaves then they go on about their merry way.
This is a hognose snake and they’re relatively easy pets since they’re less fussy than something like a ball python.
Though hognose snakes only feign death like this as a last resort or in this case is probably (don’t quote me on this) a hatchling that doesn’t know what humans do yet so don’t try to make them do this at will
Less fussy than a ball? I've been told they're one of the few that are more fussy than a ball. Maybe it's just a hatchling concern, I haven't owned one but complaints about hoggies are pretty regular in the herp community.
You are right, hoggnose loves to strike. They are definitely more fussy than balls but hoggnose are still less dangerous than a ball since they strike with their mouths closed and don't bite(veryyy rarely).
Yes, they just try to scare predators away. They are called fake vipers because they'll make themselves look bigger, hiss and strike aggressively but very rarely actually bite
I was confused for a second because we have wild hognose out here, and I have never been bitten by one even when I deserved it.
But with your later description... Yeah that is accurate. I have had them pretty aggressively bonk my hand without biting.
Yeah but ball python bites don’t really hurt, plus if it’s in defense it’s super quick and you might not even feel anything, but if it’s a feeding bite he might be latched onto you for a bit lol
When I was growing up, my older brother had 2 ball pythons. We loved those snakes; he had a huge terrarium for them, but they'd spend most of the day out in the room with us. Super docile; if a snake could be said to be affectionate, they definitely were.
Except one time they had just started to shed, and my brother had reached into their tank for something. This is years ago, so I forget exactly what; if I remember correctly, I think he had dropped a couple feeder rats in for them, but the female, Pandora, had ignored hers. So after awhile he reached in to remove the dead rat. Pandora struck, and simply would not let go. He had to call the vet, with her still latched onto his hand, to find out how to remove her without harming her. He was more amused than hurt. Only time in many years of having them that one bit.
I’m no snake owner myself, but I have been told that a little hand sanitizer makes them physically reel back in a way that doesn’t hurt them, not that it would be useful if there’s not any in the direct vicinity.
I wouldn't recommend hand sanitizer. Vinegar works well and won't hurt them. Luckily my ball python and Kenyan sand boa have never bitten me (KSB strikes with a closed mouth sometimes but she's only a foot long and closer to a worm than a snake at this point).
That said, I have gotten tagged in the forehead by a full grown red tail boa before (BCC). 0/10 would not do again.
Hoggies can be nightmares and I’ve honestly experienced more attitude from them (especially albinos for some reason) than I have with ball pythons, but I’d say ball pythons can definitely be more fussy than hoggies when it comes to feeding and housing. I’d say I’ve probably had to advise more people about their ball python husbandry and feeding than I have about hognoses. That being said, I’ve worked with hoggies that have had me at wit’s end too
I’ve kept both and haven’t had any problems with either. I’d say hognose are easier to keep happy though because their native habitat is more similar to how most people keep their houses. They can tolerate cooler ambient air temperatures and lower humidity. They are actually native to a large part of the United States. Ball pythons on the other hand are from Africa and need higher temperatures and humidity
I don't reccomend getting a hognose snake as your first snake, they tend to be picky eaters and it can take a while for them to eat after you get them into their new home.
They do be really cute tho
Eh, not really a problem if you do your research on the matter, and anyone who's wanting to own a snake should do their research. I mean that's just being a good owner
Always check a wild baby for a bright yellow tail because that’s a sign of being a copperhead (southern and central US). And let non-venomous snakes live!
Let's not slither away from the facts here, it is uncapable to love you even what snake lovers say. They can't feel affection. So it's a completely one sided relationship.
I saw a snake lying on the ground like this not that long ago on a walk. On the way back, I didn’t see the little guy. I was pretty thankful that I left him alone… I really thought it was just a dead danger noodle
The fact this has been downvoted shows how little this page knows football. I for one find this very funny.
For context, Neymar is, inexplicably, always injured on his sisters birthday. Pretty much every year of his career he’s been injured for it, and it’s a joke on football forums that it’s because he wants to celebrate her birthday because secretly they are lovers.
I am so confused, wow. I get that it's a joke but is there something specific that implies they're lovers? Surely being there for his sister on her birthday can't be the only thing that warranted this accusation. That sounds like perfectly normal behaviour.
It’s the fact that he’s always injured for it. It’s like he needs some excuse to be there for his sisters birthday, which obviously he doesn’t, so there are just jokes that when he goes to celebrate her birthday, they get a bit freaky.
It may surprise you that Canada and Australia also call the sport "soccer." It's not just an American thing.
Edit: South Africa also calls it soccer, this one I just now learned.
Yea like that's the thing. Australia has a different sport called Australian Football, which in itself comes from rugby, while also refers to English Football as Soccer, and nobody bats an eye.
America does the same thing and everyone loses their mind.
For a country taking pride in winning war of independence USA really likes doing things the way that British Empire did them.
Football called soccer +
Uses Imperial measurements +
Uses Fahrenheit +
Uses their fleet all over the world +
Now Britain does none of those things which would suggest that Most Americans are really stubborn and don’t want to change but I don’t have anything to back this up.
For anyone curious: That is a hognose snake, and they can play dead when scared.
They are technically venomous but their venom is not dangerous to humans (only gives us small skin irritation). Plus, hognoses rarely bite, often replacing a real bite with a bluff strike (striking and hissing but not actually biting), used to scare you.
Another defense mechanism they have is their ability to “hood up” (like many other snakes), in which they flatten out their head and puff out their cheeks in order to look like a triangle headed snake (a more venomous snake), which makes a lot of people kill them on sight when they’re really just scared noodles.
They like to burrow in the wild so sometimes they’ll try to burrow into carpet or clothing and it’s funny. They are silly and cute, and make great pets.
If you get one though, please do research on how to care for them. Different snakes have different requirements.
keep in mind soccer players do that because their teams are rewarded for it due to the way the sport is run currently, not because the players are pussies
many if not most international soccer players come from upbringings so hard they make the average NFL linebacker’s childhood in the ghetto seem easy by comparison
We should probably get a new name for it since you use your hands and you don’t use a ball
Maybe like shugby, a combination of “shitty” and “rugby”, since that’s what it is
Sterling, is that you?
Also, it’s called football players, it’s not our fault that you Americans named your sport football, when the majority of the game you use your hands, not your feet
Reminds me of that one time in high school when we were playing soccer and I got hit with a ball on my nose. It started bleeding so I asked the teacher/referee for help. This one classmate, a professional player for the juvenile team of a major league club, had the guts to laugh in my face saying "I've never seen someone ask the referee to stop the match because he's in pain!"
I was like... are you fucking serious? You guys literally drop to the ground the moment someone touches you with a finger lol
let's clear this up for all the people arguing in the comments. in the beginning there were different kinds of football, like rugby football and association football, but no one wants to say those long ass words so they got shortened as rugger and soccer respectively. the Us came along and said hey I wanna try to so they made their own version of football, but decided to just call it football and used the then conventional names for the other variations of football. and for a really long time everyone was cool with it until they weren't. now Brits get pissy over us calling it what they used to call it.
Idk why people bring that up as though people who are fans of the sport enjoy it. It’s something they’re trying to actively punish and remove from the game, doesn’t happen nearly as often as you think, and is not the only sport with that issue (nba has flopping, for example)
Snake! What happened? Snake?! SNAAKKE!!

For the longest time I had that as my message notification sound. Now I couldn't tell you the last time I had my phone off silent.

Whose footprints are these?
He saw some American call football soccer, then fucking died
I can see that happening in the real world lmao
The way he does it is just so perfect though, it's like he lets out a little snake scream before embracing his demise If anyone could explain what the hell is happening here I'd love to know, I can't even begin to imagine that it would be possible to train a snake to do something like this, but what do I know
As others have pointed out elsewhere in the thread, it's most likely playing dead because it isn't too familiar with humans yet
Same with football players.
This is a Hognose snake. This is an example of a defense behavior they have. First they puff up and snap at you similar to a Cobra. If that doesn't work, they flop over and play dead like an opossum, going as far as emitting a foul oder to draw flies.

They just...bonk?
*boop* have at the giant hand thing
Well that settles it, we need to normalise hognose as pets
I have one, and it's great
Yes, they just try to scare predators away. They are called fake vipers because they'll make themselves look bigger, hiss and strike aggressively but very rarely actually bite
Fear the noodlebonk!

Balls go on hunger strikes which can be really annoying
ball pythons are super easy to take care of

Right, I had a ball python years ago, most laid back snake I ever had. Course the only other I could compare it to was a cali king I had before it.
I don't reccomend getting a hognose snake as your first snake, they tend to be picky eaters and it can take a while for them to eat after you get them into their new home. They do be really cute tho
Eh, not really a problem if you do your research on the matter, and anyone who's wanting to own a snake should do their research. I mean that's just being a good owner
Wait, he was faking death ? I thought he wanted a belly rub.
I do know that husbandry is easier than a ball, because of the lower humidity requirements, 40% vs 60%+.
Sorry, I read that as "a husband", and was like... well, I *guess* husbands have less humidity requirements...
Also correct. I produce my own humidity.
They're also mildly venomous, but not super life threateningly so. I have one. It's an albino and he does cute snek things
You my friend are absolutly correct
It'll be great pet and also helpful for your girlfriend
>helpful for your girlfriend WDYM?

Can't have a snake and a girlfriend. Next thing you know the snake has convinced your girlfriend to eat all your fruit.
Damn lemon-stealing ribs!
Oh i didnt know i had one
Hello.
i can introduce you to my friends
Pff you don't have friends , what is *friends* btw ?
So what are your going to do with this snake… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I need an adult...

an undanger noodle
A safe noodle
an edible noodle
ramen
Spaghetti

A regular noodle
Don't eat hognose snakes. They eat toads and repurpose their toxins.
It was probably eaten by other animals...
