It's time for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side and this time, we're talking about a really cool snake that deserves an Oscar for it's unique defensive abilities. We're talking about the hognose snake! Join Marvin and Gabrielle on the back porch on a hot and humid evening chatting about this amazing little snake that has very specialized feeding habits, but it's their defensive behavior that most everyone is familiar with. A frog and toad eating master, this little snake can imitate a cobra, but its ability to play dead will put many Hollywood actors to shame!

Here's some great websites for learning more about the hognose snake:
