Although I am not fond of snakes I do love to watch nature shows on television. I have never heard of the hognose snake and the very odd way it avoids being eaten for dinner. In fact, I have to check several sources because it sounded so odd to me. I have heard of some animals playing dead and this snake can take it quite a bit farther.
It not only plays dead, but is able to emit the smell of unappetizing rotting meat. So the hungry agressor moves on to something that smells and looks more appetizing.
I truly do like learning new things. This may not be new to you and still it was an interesting tidbit for me.
I hate snakes, actually have seen them just a couple of times. Ugly creatures.
I saw on National Geographic that there are sea snakes that live in the water and some people eat them??????????
Based on your posts this week I have to ask if you are actually someone else. Were you once Alice Cooper?
(because you’ve posted you don’t like spiders and you don’t like snakes…)
I don’t like Spiders and Snakes, Alice Cooper!
Oh my, you found my secret. I have so many personalities.
I knew it! If you post a school’s out for summer post I will have to call you out publically!!!!
The look of the snake creak me … to eat it? I prefer to die of hunger
I don’t know if I would go that far, but maybe.
No thank you. I would not eat any snakes at all.
It seems that many are like me and don’t think snakes would be a great meal.
I will take fried chicken over a snake.
Nope won’t ever try to eat one. I just can’t stand snakes.
I am right there with you.
No I have never eaten any snake , but i heard from my elder they have eaten it several time when they were in military commando training.
