Good for you guys that help snakes. I cannot tell a lie, but my first instinct is to run away.

In the Pawnee National Grasslands on Sunday we came across a little Western Hognose Snake, about 8" long. When we put it back on the grass it burrowed into tufts of dried grass as hognose do.
Long ago when I worked on the Brush power plant I caught a mature hognose and took it to my cousin who kept snakes. That snake named HN for it's scientific name Heterodon nasicus, lived another 9 years in captivity.
Also on the Pawnee I came across this little dog drinking overflow water from a windmill water tank.
Those are cool snakes.Originally Posted by Hummer

They are. Hognose are rattlesnake mimics, which I discovered when I found HN. I was running the concrete plant at Brush and picked up some galvanized sheet metal in the yard when it reared up, hissed and rattled it's tail like a rattler. But, it didn't have any rattles, so I caught it. Turned out to be a gentle pet snake.
Here's a snip from a trail cam video in my yard. I walked out the door to see this fine bull walking by. He turned to say goodbye. Wasn't quick enough to get my camera on him but the Stealth Cam did. Notice he's got an aspen tree in his antlers.
I need to get some better trail cameras.
Who wouldn't decorate themselves with an Aspen Tree?
