    Eastern Hognose.. mainly eat toads, but that ones so small a cricket would be a thanksgiving feast. Hognose are fun, they flatten their heads to look like cobras then hiss... if you touch them, they give up the fakeness and roll over playing dead.

    I can't even look at those pictures(even though I did) if there is one thing I hate it is snakes, doesn't matter if it's 6" or 6 feet.

    We have the black ones here. Often sunning themselves on top of bushes and they almost always take off pretty quick if you get close. Usually you pretty much have to sneak up on them to see them. We have a lot of garter and ring neck snakes here and I kinda like to see them in the garden and will let them be if I can.

    I find skins, but have never seen a snake in my stacks. I like having snakes around, they help with some pests.

    The venomous ones, as you ran away, you warm up hahahahaha...

    We actually dont have any venomous ones around. Im not sure why, but we live in a small pocket where even the dnr doesnt show copperheads on their coverage map.

    Clearly however, I have tons of snakes, they dont bother my wife and I. My parents are absolutely freaked out by them. I always tell my mom, the day I open the paper and read the headline that a grown man was attacked and killed by a 5lb black snake, then I’ll be nervous.... until then, eat more mice, last year a mouse/mice did $6k in damage to my tundra eating up the wiring harness.

    Same here in the garden and around the barn, we mostly see Garter snakes and Milk snakes which most people think are Copperheads which we don't have here.
