what kind of snake is this 😭

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles Hogs can flatten dorsoventrally to look more 👻scary👻 it's one of their special hidden talents 😅

@PardonMyPain @Simone_Biles You’re probably right. I can’t tell from this pic though. At three, I attempted to pick one up until my parents realized what I was reaching for. Lol. I thought it was pretty. Turned out to be a hog nose that played dead. As harmless as garter snakes.

@Simone_Biles Below stipulates a viewpoint w/ “a lot of words”. I am proud to represent a blue check mark account; Once you can afford one, you should consider it — possibly even as a business deduction 😉 Disagreement w/opinion is fine. Hostility towards me (or anyone for that matter) is…

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha okay…

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles I would like to note that head shape and pupils are not reliable factors of identification. All pupils tell us is the time the snake is most active (cat eyes=nocturnal, round=diurnal). Many harmless snakes can and will flatten their heads (see Nerodia) to appear more threatening

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles It’s a hog nose.

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles Majority of this information is incorrect. It is wise to be sure of your information before advising people on potentially medically significant snakes.

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles I downloaded picture and used Google Pixel. Hognose matched

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles You’re flat out wrong and pupil shape is not good to ID a snake fam … it’s not healthy to spread misinformation on snakes.

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles Well it is a hognose.

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles I would think it is either copperhead or cottonmouth if I saw it…

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles Lots of words doesn't make you correct

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles Literally everything you said was wrong

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles Cobras have round pupils.....

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles lots of snakes (especially hognoses) can flatten their heads to look venomous. rattlers, copperheads, and cottonmouths are all from different genuses, crosses between are impossible. dont have the word count to explain the markings but its a hognose lol

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles Who the hell gets close enough to a snake to see what shape the pupils are?!!

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles This is misinformation, don’t talk about snakes if you’re poorly informed. Head shape is an unreliable factor in determining snake types, as many snakes flatten their head and neck in response to threats to appear larger than they are.

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles Seriously? It doesn't look like an Eastern Hog Nose snake? Gee, if only there were an easy way to tell. Here's a picture of an Eastern Hog Nose snake... please tell me, other than it's facing the other way, how it's different from Simone's picture?

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles The best thing to do is to treat every snake as if they are poisonous unless you are absolutely sure.

@Imworthwhile @Simone_Biles 1) 1000% a harmless Hognose (Heterodon). Technically venomous but harmless to humans 2) Crotalus cannot "cross" with Agkistrodon. 3) Head shape and pupil shape are not good ID methods as seen with this venomous Eastern Copperhead
