Hognose snake playing dead.

Found this little fella in the road while visiting the Okefenokee swamp. I got out to move him out of harms way and got this great performance from him. I love how he is looking at me after playing possum to see if Im still there.

That's really cool, I've read about them doing that. But I've never been able to see it in person. Hogs are pretty cool snakes.

Awesome find! Seems like there is almost always sand and pine needles close by.
