[Hummer]

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.
